Tascam Unveils 2 CD Burner Bundles
February 11, 2000
TASCAM debuted the CD-R Pro and CD-R Deluxe CD burner
systems at the Winter NAMM Convention. The systems feature high performance
CD-R drives from TASCAM's parent company TEAC combined with powerful software
packages. The CD-R Pro and CD-R Deluxe are the first cross-platform bundles
available, featuring complete software suites for both Mac and Windows
based machines. Software addressing recording, editing, CD-burning and
Internet audio and an Adaptec 2903B SCSI card for both platforms is also
included in each bundle.
"The CD is the medium of exchange for both audio and archiving,
with CD-ROM drives found on nearly every computer made since 1994,"
says Gene Joly, TASCAM general manager. "TASCAM has put together
the CD-R Pro and CD-R Deluxe burner bundles to give musicians extremely
powerful tools to use the CD-R format as a creative tool. These bundles
will build on the success of our CD-R 400 and CD-R624 bundles and have
a significant impact on the MI, DJ and Broadcast markets."
The TASCAM CD-R Pro bundle consists of the new TEAC 8x24 speed CD-R58S
CD-R drive featuring 150msec access time. The unit has a 4MB buffer and
addresses Track at Once, Disc at Once, Multisession and Incremental formats.
The drive is bundled with cabling and two blank TEAC CD-R disks. Macintosh
software includes: TC Works SparkLE for audio recording/editing, Adaptec
Jam! for audio CD authoring/recording and Adaptec Toast for data CD authoring
and recording. Windows software includes: SEK'D Red Roaster 24 for audio
recording/editing and audio CD authoring, Adaptec EZ CD Creator for data
