Haven't tried the OMF export since they made larger files available , but since it takes a long long time to convert the session, I doubt we'll ever do that.

Admittedly we are still using the deck mostly as a backup machine, but I've kept and used the files from the X-48 on a couple of occasions and it sounded great.
Good to know. Any idea what converters are on the analog boards? Have the converters changed since the MX2424?

Anyone know what the latest software is?
1.04 I believe.

Gotta check the Tascam website....

Be nice if they made the meters a bit more useful.
I agree, the front panel meters are a bit hopeless. If they just bothered to make the last couple of LEDs a different colour that would have helped. The GUI meters are a lot better, but still remain blue all the way to the top, so there's no easily-spotted indication when you're getting close to 0dbfs. Maybe they'll change that with a software update. Of course, if the GUI freezes every few seconds, so do the on-screen meters... not very helpful.

Sorry if I'm sounding negative about the X-48. I like it a lot as a concept, I just hope it fulfils its potential.
