Re-starting out

[Kemmrich]

I used to have a old fostex 4-track cassette record now I want to get started again (actually my wife will use it more).

What we have:

1.) PC88MX Midi Keyboard controller
2.) Cakewalk 2002 Homestudio (we have cakewalk 3.0 but are upgrading)
3.) Acoustic Piano / Guitar / Banjo
4.) Dell desktop PC with windows ME

Need to buy:

1.) Digital Multitracker

The things we want to do:

1.) 100% midi created software (PC88/Cakewalk) to CD (don’t need multitracker)
2.) Mix Midi created software with live audio (piano, guitar, banjo) to CD
3.) 100% live track at a time music (piano, guitar, banjo) to CD

We have a CD burner available, so we need to export the music from the digital recorder on to a format so we can burn our own CD. I believe Korg uses a proprietary format so you have to use their CD burner????

Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a digital recorder (8-track) that is fairly easy to use and can export files to a PC for CD burning.

Hope this all makes sense and thanks in advance,

Kevin

Why don't you use the computer as the multi-tracker?

>>use pc as multitracker<<

I like the portability of an external multitracker. While my wife is in the piano/computer room, I can take it downstairs and work on guitar/banjo type stuff.
