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...

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...

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...

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

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

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...

Hi, I need to purchase 2 mics. One, a headset for playing Penny WHistle on stage (so I can move and not have to stand perfectly still for hours) #2 for recording a c.d. I'm a newbie, please help

Hello, Last week I asked about keyboards and BR-8 units and we had a nice discussion about Salesmen. Well, after looking at things in the state of Or. I discovered that NO keyboard I was shown, sounded like a harp, a bagpipe or a "fiddle". These sounds MUST sound like real instruments on my...

I wrote in a month ago to ask what to get for my first try at home recording. You all sent me out to see what the salesmen were pushing. I was told to record Pennywhistle tracks with keyboard backing tracks I should get: the Boss BR-8 Porta-studio and a Roland Keyboard Are these REALLY good...

Hello, I am a newbie when it comes to home digital recording. The "salesman" said the BR-8 was the was to go. I want to record Pennywhistle tunes into it. Then I want to do all the backing tracks on a Roland??? or whatever the suggestions would be for a keyboard that would give me the sounds of...

Hi, I am brand new here. I am in a Celtic band and have recorded using their equipment for a few years, but now I want to try recording for myself at home on the computer. I know I need a mic, and a pre-amp and a soundcard, and software and then a c.d. burner, but that is all I know. I am...
