Live recording

[johnnypraze]

Im looking for a HD Recorder or similar for live recordings.

My church runs everything to our board and we make cassettes at the end of service.

The Casette deck has gone bad and theyre looking for a new deck, and my thing is why pay 4-5 hundred dollars on a cassette deck when we can record to cd.

Ill be sending the house board into this unit for recording.

Im not looking for a multitrack recorder, cuz Im trying to keep the price down.

But CD burning is a must unless its really cheap in which I could just get a seperate unit for burning.


Ive looked and only came up with this Marantz unit:

Anyone have any Ideas?

All input is welcome,
Thanks in advance...

Wow, at that price of the unit you linked to you could add another 100.00 and get a Fostex 16 Track Digital Recorder with CD-RW writing built in. You can find it on zzsounds also. Which might not be a bad investment for your church if you have various Gospel groups come in for singing's, etc. Live 16 track CD recording might offer you something down the road.

For that price you could probably get a used laptop computer with a stereo input card. That way you could edit and multitrack, not to mention add DSP VST or DivX effects before burning.

Get one that's USB 2.0 compatible with an at least 20 gig hard drive and you can use a portable USB 80-100 gig drive to store all of your backup files on.

Just a thought.
