Masterlink or ADATedit???

[dirtdog]

I am planning to upgrade from my Tascam 4-tracker to an ADAT machine. With this journey into the digital world, I ultimately want to make CD's of my music, rather than the cassettes I currently make. Being quite computer-phobic, I prefer the tape method over the Roland harddrive units. My question is this: will I be able to master and burn CD's with my computer using the ADATedit, or should I save up an extra $1400 and go for the Masterlink?? Bear in mind that my computer knowledge is minimal....I received some advice over in the "recording techniques" section, but was advised to seek sonusman's expertise in this Alesis forum....
thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!!

Thanks for the advice, Ed......I was inclined to opt for the Masterlink to mix down to from the ADAT machine, and you have reinforced that idea. I just feel more at ease recording and mixing without frogging around with the computer. I have a friend with a DAT recorder in his studio who will help me master my ADAT recordings until I can come up with the $$$ for a Masterlink. I appreciate your response and I have enjoyed reading your posts in this and the other forums. I never worried about "crossing" you!
