Well, my 2012 mac finally died after running Logic Pro X seamlessly for almost 10 years! The drum machine in Logic is an integral part of my workflow now, cannot live without. But while I look to redo my studio, I am inspired by the Tascam Model X platform - my first studio was a Yamaha MT1X (4-track) so I love the idea of the old school approach. Very basic use case question, I think the answer is "yes" but would like to hear opinions and differences between each version (12/16/24).
My use case:
I simply want to START with a Logic Pro X session, basic song layout completely defined in Logic, with Logic Drummer, then I want to do MOST OF MY TRACKING in Tascam Model (X?) . Eventually bring it all back to Logic for adding virtual instruments and mixing and mastering. But boy, would that second phase of doing everything on Tascam be great. Can I run a Logic song and it then synchs up whatever I do in Tascam? Any diffs between 12/16/24? I've seen some references to 12 that has "more features" that confuses me.

BIG differences between the M12 and the M16/24 - the M12 is a digital board that can function as a DAW controller, while the M16/24 are analog boards that happen to have an SD recorder attached to them (they do NOT function as DAW controllers, but do have MIDI Time Code).

Those are the basics - I would look in the stickies and on Tascam's site to see all the rest of the goodies you'll get with either model you decide to go with.

Ok thanks for that, this is helpful, will dig a bit further, but model 12 seems like it would be able to be driven from Logic.
