Thanks to all for your comments but Radar V does not have any virtual tracks and you cannot use a mouse for editing it also costs $21,000. I called tascam and they told me the X48 will only cost $5,000 and has Time-stamped Broadcast WAVE file format
Workstation/Mixing:Turn-key operation: no software conflicts to troubleshoot
Graphic user interface for editing, mixing, plug-ins and meters
48-channel mixing at 96kHz / 24 channels at 192kHz
32-bit floating point mixer resolution
6 stereo returns (60 inputs at mixdown)
24 busses, 6 aux sends, stereo master buss
Full dynamic automation
Dynamics, 4-band parametric EQ and 4 VST plug-in inserts per channel

X-48 is Tascam's first standalone 48-track Hybrid Hard Disk Workstation which integrates the best of both worlds: the stability and ease-of-use of a purpose-built hard disk recorder, with the GUI, editing features and plug-in compatibility of a computer-based digital audio workstation.
It boasts 96kHz/24-bit recording across all 48 tracks and 192kHz across 24 tracks. Yet the X-48 goes beyond mere standalone recorders – its built-in, automated 48-channel digital mixer, VGA display output, powerful editing functions and DVD+RW backup drive transform it into a complete integrated workstation.

I cannot see the point spending $21,000 on a Radar V which only has 24 tracks and does not even have virtual tracks and has no mouse editing. Is Tascam that bad of a company?why would they make the X48 unuseable. What do you think gearslutz people?
