Right, its more money money money then....for a clean signal - although i had a listen to my tunes on MD walking round the shops at lunch and most of my irritations came from little errors i had made during mixdown (too much compression, bit too much treble, samples being slightly too loud or quiet) so i should just be able to eliminate these probs fairly easily and thats before using software to sort the final mix out... Although, a TC Finalizer or T Racks and a CDRW or DAT is looking like the next yrs wish list contenders...damn, the spending never ends, :-)

This may or may not work with your audio s/w, but TotalRecorder installs a driver middle layer so that you can digitally record whatever you are outputting to your soundcard BEFORE it leaves the soundcard....great for WMV, ASF, RAM, DVD audio ripping too ......oh yeah and while I'm at it search google for "ASFRecorder"....with that you can rip all the DnBarena mix streams to your local disk and bypass the weak B.S. microshit copy protection..... peace -los > Do most people record a tune from the hardware or PC onto DAT or CD/MD and > then re-record it back into the PC for editing using Waves etc then master > it to DAT or CD/MD using the soundcard outs once finished?? > I need to get my demos crisper and fatter.... --- Drum&Bass Arena Producers Discussion List http://www.breakbeat.co.uk You are currently subscribed to dnb-prod as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] DISCLAIMER: The Information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
