Okay, I can safely say that I have noticed a difference in the sound quality when tracks are bounced, even with a digital recorder like the MR-8.
Over the weekend, I tracked 4 instruments onto 1 thru 4 and bounced to 5/6. I then erased 1 thru 4 and recorded an additional 2 tracks onto 1 and 2 and then bounced everything to 7/8.
The sound coming through my headphones on track 7/8 definitely sounded muffled compared to the clean, crisp sound on the original bounced track 5/6. I kept the two and compared them side by side and could hear the difference. It's not even subtle!
So, having said that, I think that I should learn to use some of the software mixing programs. Or else, I should record songs with only 4 instruments
Anyone else have the same observation or am I out in left field (and I can't even play baseball)?!
