Hello, I have a small digital recorder, but it doesn't Master well enough to even be called mastered. My c.d. is all acoustical instruments and I don't expect to sell very many, but I wish to make a few more c.d.'s too. If I pay to have each one Mastered by a professional, it seems like a waste...

I keep doing the math...it doesn't work out for short-run's either way. I guess I am counting in the cost of my home recording equip. too. I don't expect to earn much, but I keep coming out $2000-$4000 short for 3 little c.d.'s selling 150 copies each. HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT????? (I know, sell...

Hi, Someone just mentioned MyPlanet for cheap cd duplication. I looked thru their site but they were pushing the 1000 cd's package. I only need 200 to start. It looks like DiscMakers would be cheapter, if I had the cover printed on a Copier and just bought the Jewel cases and put them in...

Ha ha ha, for asking. I was fired cause the couple that own the band say I was insulting and abusive. It had nothing to do with my playing. I am 57 and certainly no threat, but she acted like she just didn't want me being around her 34-yr-old husband. ha ha ha, their loss, right! So now I need...

Hi, I just got fired from the band I had benn in for 3 years. So now I am recording a few c.d.'s on my own. Has any one had any luck with CD Baby or CDStreet? When I go into their sites, it seems you need to know the name of an artist or a c.d. title to actually find what you want to hear. How...

Thanks James, That was very interesting reading. I have a guy that will do it for less, so hopefully it will be as good(?) Thanks. Lolly

I have a BR1180cd Digital home recording studio. I am just about done mixing and have tried Mastering, but I don't hear that "dramatic difference" that the Professionals who advertise their Mastering Studios claim they can give a c.d. Are these little $1000 units REALLY good enough? Lolly in Reno

I have just purchased my first Digital Home Recording Studio (a BR1180cd). I will only be recording PennyWhistles and Recorders with a mic, and using keyboard sounds for the backing tracks. I haven't bought any Mixing Monitor/Speakers yet. What is my best choice for this simple project? Thanks,Lolly

O.K., but WHY do you all suggest using the COMPUTER for recording. FOr a newbie, should't we be using something simple? This all sounds way too hard for this newbie...i.e. I'm a musician, not an electrician! Wouldn't a -------? be easier? lolly

Is the BR-8 really the way to start learning how to record? I will be using only a keyboard and one acoustic instrument. (I tried n-track on my computer and couldn't understand it.... I'm an old lady and want something I can learn easily). Thanks

Well, I tried and tried. I guess I will just give up on it awhile. Maybe a little BR-8 with me more suited!!! Thanks for trying, lolly

Well, Thanks Tom, I looked at what you said to look at and I think I see everything looking o.k. but I still don't hear a playback. It has to be one stupid little check-mark somewhere, doesn't it! lolly

Help! This old-lady newbie has just downloaded n-track and plugged in her mic, and pre-amp and clicked that the Recording level and the In-Line volumes are o.k. on the computer. I talk into the mic and I hear it just fine; and the red recording scribble looks good and when I play it back the...

Hi all, Am I correct in thinking that this product is better than the BR-8 because it records on a hard drive and not a Zip disk? Has anyone bought one of these yet? I see Musician's Friend has them for under $1000. I need to get recording soon, please adivse lolly

Hello, I use an Audix headhead mic on stage and it works great plugged into the mixer with the phantom power switched on. I play the Pennywhistle with a harpest so I need a sweet sound with re-verb. Now I would like to buy a little pre-amp for plugging into my computer or a little portable...
