A Professional Hard Disk Recorder
The SX-1’s hard disk recorder is derived from the same technology
in the TEC award-winning MX-2424 and Emmy award-winning MM
Series film dubbers. The SX-1 can play back 16 uncompressed tracks
of pristine 24-bit audio at one time, but it’s capable of far more.
With 999 virtual tracks per project that can be freely assigned to
any track, anywhere, the SX-1 makes comping together single
tracks from large numbers of vocal or instrumental takes an easy
task.
As stated previously, the SX-1
can read and write to both PC
and Mac discs, and writes
time-stamped Sound Designer
II and Broadcast Wave files.
Therefore, audio files can lit-
erally be taken from the SX-1
and imported with single sam-
ple accuracy into a variety of
DAWs and digital recorders.
"Single
sample
accuracy"
means that when files are transferred, they are put into the exact
place in a project you intend them to go…with precision to one
48,000th of a second. This is done by storing the sample rate and
the sample offset from absolute zero in the file itself. With only
these two parameters, the file can be placed at the exact sample in
another DAW’s project that has the ability to spot to a time stamp.
Some of the compatible DAWs include Pro Tools, Digital Performer,
Logic Audio and Nuendo. This feature provides tremendous bene-
fit to recording professionals needing file compatibility with other
musicians and studios.
The SX-1 can read and write projects in TimeLine’s Open TL format,
making it compatible at the session level with popular DAW pro-
grams such as Logic Audio and Nuendo as well as the TASCAM MX-
2424. You can literally move a hard drive from the SX-1 into your
DAW, and open projects in one of these applications.
