Although I have not used one, looking at the specs the outputs options are only line level, so you would need a CD burner that does real time audio such as a Nexxtech N2000 (disks cost more).
Or you could use the USB interface to transfer the files to a computer and then create your CD there. | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 8:19:36 AM | i record both my custom Ibanez SDGR bass and Roland XP60 synth straight into the mic input of my PC completely raw with no effects and thats it. I use modplug tracker to sequence and arrange drum patterns which use samples of real drum kits.
you can hear it here: www.myspac.com/mikeytron (put the "e" in) | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 6:18:33 PM | I use a line 6 toneport UX1, I think it's good enough for what I need, the UX2 is quite a bit better as it has more I/O ports and whatnot and +48v phantom power for the mic inputs.
UX1=129.99 UX2= 199.99
Comes with ableton live as well, but Cubase SX3 is a lot better.
I use an SM58 for vocals and my rhoads series for geetar work. | |

What is your opinion on the Zoom Products? (as comparible in price to other home jobs)
I have a Zoom 4 track.....I play classical guitar, so recording is nothing really. One track, start to finish, maybe throw some fills in, that machine has enough compression and eq to suit my needs...I figure I can take it to a local studio for polishing..I go direct line from a Washburn Nylon, add in the sound I want...any thoughts? | |

Posted: 7/2/2008 9:55:16 PM | hey danny
this is a most expensive hobby
looking at your rig,I would suggest investing in :
-powered monitors
-some mid level large diaphram condenser mics
that is some $$$$$ but worth it

ya'h...the large diaphram condenser mics, i gave that some thought a while ago....
i also been looking around for a set of haflar play back monitors as well...
not sure yet...what to shop for , regarding power monitors ??? | |
|
| the HOME RECORDING STUDIO thread
Posted: 7/3/2008 1:13:44 PM | as far as powered monitors go
-bring a couple of your favorite artists cds to an L&M monitor listening room...
or other stores too
-play the cd and do some critical listening
-dyna audios are nice,yorkville (budget) ,mackie etc
also consider how much loudness you need,example
-a bass player is in the control room tracking,if you plug him through a small monitor,it might be hard for him to get a 'vibe' because he can't feel the bass
a bigger mid size monitor like the mackie hr -824 can pump pretty good and give you a big vibe to track to.
-small monitors are nice to check mixes on
eg yamaha ns-10s
large diaphram condenser mics
I suggest borrowing some from the store and do a mic shoot out
-I did this with 7
-I liked the audio technica 3035 as a budget mic get 2 for stereo)
there are lots out there to try
