Doc's set up for live recording inspired me to think about getting a CDR. But I have a few questions on how this could actually work for me. On the demo I'm working on now, I ended up dumping the 1 track of drums and 1 track of bass from my cassetee 4-track into cakewalk, and then doing the guitars and vocals myself. So it would make sense to record a submix of drums into CDR on the left and the bass track on the right and do the same, and have better quality. How exactly? Could I just put the CD into the CD rom and do it that way? or run a digital out from the burner into the computer?
Also I'd like the ability to do both CDR and CDRW- are the Phillips machines the only ones that do this? I'm sketchy about the tecnology involved here. I'm thinking I'd want 24bit over 16bit for more headroom and stuff, but a CD burnt at 24bits would'nt play on a regular player right?? even if it's not CDRW? Or is that just solely the A/D conversion and dosen't effect the disc itself? And exactly how much better would the quality of 24bits over 16 be?
I don't want a machine that is strictly CDRW cause I want to make copies for people. But I do want CDRW cause I want to use it for mixing and I don't want the pressure of wasting a disk when i do a mix. But then again if if I did mix to CDRW I would'nt be able to burn a copy of it anyway caus only my recorder could read it!!
The Phillips burner seems like it would suit me well, but would it perform well for recording live from a mixer?
Any help would be groovy-
