Page: 19 / 68

Setup
MX-View
Pre-installed on the X-48 is MX-View Version 1.40, for control of any existing MX-2424
machines you may have. For MX-View operational instructions, please refer to the MX-
View Manual.
TASCAM Mixer Companion
Pre-installed on the X-48 is TASCAM Mixer Companion Version 1.30. This allows the X-
48 to act as the host computer for TMC when connected via USB to a TASCAM DM-3200
or DM-4800 digital mixer.
TMC updates may be installed by running the TMC update installer by selecting Launch
External Application from the X-48’s File menu. The TMC update installer would have to
be on a piece of media that the X-48 has access to, such as a CD or USB flash drive.
Only Version 1.20 or higher (Windows version) is designed to operate on the X-
48. Earlier versions of TMC should not be installed on the X-48.
VST Plug-ins
At the time of this writing, the following plug-ins have been qualified for installation & use
on the X-48. Please check the TASCAM web site for updates.
•
Waves 5 (using the iLok key)
• Antares Auto Tune 4
Using the X-48 System Restore CD
In the event it becomes necessary to use the X-48 System Restore CD to restore your X-48
to its original factory configuration, following the steps below will ensure a smooth restore
process:
1.
Back up all audio data. This should already be done as part of a regular workflow.
2. Ensure you have backups of any X-48 software installers or patch updates you may
have downloaded from the TASCAM web site.
3. With the X-48 powered on, insert the System Restore CD then restart the X-48. The
VGA UI doesn’t have to be displayed, all that is required is power to open the drive
tray. If necessary, the X-48 can be forced to shut down by holding the front panel
power button for a few seconds.
4. The X-48 will automatically boot from the System Restore CD and run the X-48
Installer. Please follow the steps in the X-48 Installer screens.
