TapeMode Convert
The TASCAM MX-2424 has a special recording mode known as TapeMode, which creates a single
audio file per track. This mode makes efficient use of disk space and processor resources for recording
and works especially well when there are a lot of punch in and out events/edits over multiple tracks. Non-
destructive projects (which may have many separate sound files referenced per track) can be converted to
TapeMode. This process will convert all audio in each track to a new track, writing new audio files
which incorporate all sound elements on that track,into a single audio file.
To TapeMode convert a project, select a project to be converted from the list of projects, then click the
TapeMode convert button. The TapeMode convert dialog box will appear. Type the SCSI ID number of
the target drive and click OK to begin the conversion process.
Individual tracks may also be TapeMode converted by double clicking on the Project folder to open it
and selecting an individual track to be converted to TapeMode. Only one track at a time can be selected.
Auto Naming of TapeMode Converted Files
The TapeMode conversion process will use the same name as the original file but will append _TAPE to
the end of the name. Since the name of the new project will always be different than the original (the
system will keep appending _TAPE each time a conversion is made), it is not possible to overwrite an
existing project using TapeMode convert.
