Actually robert if you look you'll note that I'm not talking about what you *can* do with software (and It's disappointing that you would be editing out mistakes) I am talking about recording directly to a cd.
Most people that connect to a pc do so with a cheap, ty, unshielded 3.5mm to 2 rca cable that doesn't maintain 75 ohms nor have separate networks for the various frequencies, then they use cheap soundcards etc and generally end up with pretty crappy sounding recordings.
Imagine just hitting "record" and achieving an exact recording. Sound Easy?
The reasoning behind such extreme recording range with these programs is beyond me. The vinyl doesn't put it out, the needle doesn't put it out, the cd can't record it, the cd player , amp and speakers in even alot of high quality systems can't reproduce it anyway so why would you?
Even if your recording at 192khz and you have a studio grade system to play it back on, your ear can't hear it. Golden rule mate...

one question I have for you though. What happens when your levels are a little up and down. i.e in between some mixes some tunes haven't been cued loud enough than others? Does the CD recorder normalise on the fly? Why the need for special cd's? I 've used a similar device and used plain recordable cd's and worked fine.
Also, out of interest, how does the CD recorder separate the tracks for you in sequence? Or is that done later? :)
It seems that "each to their own" applies here and there isn't one right method. Scott seems to be happy recording straight to the CD recorder and RobertRollie prefers the PC. For me it's the PC all the way and I've had experience with both including Minidisc etc (which btw, is so portable that I take it to gigs and record live sets).
I use an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 and I have to say the improvement in sound recording quality is notably better than the SB Live I used to use.
There is one thing I can't stand and that's people trying to fix mixing faults with music apps. Not only are they cheating themselves, but, the people, promoter, girlfriend whoever they are giving it to. It's not the end of the world if the mixing is a little off and besides not everyone or every mix is perfect (but we try:)). Better to have it raw is my philosophy. ;) |
