It's assured that the Model 12 is a practical scratch pad that sould be used in conjunction with a DAW for editing and mixdown, and that with a little effort on Tascam side it would become a better musicians friend.
What I like to do is make multiple mixed versions of the recorded tracks, then take them to my DAW for additional treatment and cut&paste. The current export function doesn't allow automatic rename if a file with the same name already exists in the MUSIC folder; usually I would shut down the Model, bring the SD card to the computer, rename the existing file, put the SD back on the Model, export the new stereo mix and repeat until I have enough stems to work on. Another method is to connect the Model in drive mode via USB and do the rename job. What if I don't want or can't access to a computer?
- record the first mix and export to stereo track in MUSIC folder
- rename the song (Menu SONG / select and click the song / select RENAME in the context menu) to the next progressive number
- record a second main mix and export to stereo track, it will inherit the new song name
- repeat the above steps until all the mix versions are exported, then rename the song to its initial name and you are done. You have multiple stereo mixes with progessive numbering without using a computer that can be imported on a new empty song on the Model for making a fancy group mix, or edited in a DAW.
