How do I install 3rd party plugins on the Tascam X-48?
The X-48 officially supports Waves plug-ins and Antares Auto-Tune plug-in. Other plug-ins have not been tested and may result in undesired operation, requiring the X-48 be reloaded from the factory restore CD. Please note that the X-48 mkii does not support third party plug-ins.
To install plug-ins, do one of the following:
– Insert the installer CD in the X-48. If there’s an autorun.exe file on the CD, just follow the prompts as you would on a computer. Install the plug-ins in D:\FreewareVST
– Use the Launch External Application command in the File menu to run the installer on the CD, then follow the prompts Install the plug-ins in D:\FreewareVST
Both Waves and Antares require an iLok dongle for copy protection. Authorize the dongle on a computer then plug it into the X-48’s USB jack when prompted by the plug-in installer.
