Hi everyone: I am realitivly new to home recording and recently started reccording on a tascam da 30 dat recorder. Prior to this I have been going to a mini disc. On both I record everything live from a small yamaha mixing board, and a behringer virtualizer pro. Then I load them on my computer via cool edit 2000. I only add a bit of compression to the songs. Someone told me the dat would have a richer quality than the mini disc. Here are my questions. Could someone tell me which should sound better and why? Would recording direct to my computer, a cd recorder, or one of these mixers/burners, give me noticabily better quality than the dat and md are producing? Here is a link to a song clip done on the dat and the mini disc. I can't tell which sounds better, which leads me to believe the md is the way to go for its simplicity, lower cost of discs, etc... Thanks in advance! Walter
