Hi, I may sound like an idiot here, but I'm new to this, so bear with me. Heck, I don't even know what it means to mix down to stereo! I guess I'll tell you what i have, if that will help.
I have a Fostex FD-4 with a 250 meg zip drive. I'm also using an alesis SR-16 drum machine, and I'm using a POD to record my guitar and bass parts. Oh, I"m just using the guitar pod, if you know how to get a good bass sound out of that, lemme know. I'm not messing with vocals yet, so I won't worry about that for now.
What I plan to do is to record the tracks, hook the optical cables into my sound card(SBlive driveR), record, and then dump to CD-R. I did this with somehting I was working on, put it into my stereo, and it sounded like caca. But it sounds damn good through my headphones, so that just confuses me more.
Ok, I'm tired, and not even making sense to myself right now. I guess another reason I'm looking for recommendations is because a few of the books that I've seen seem to be for a specific type of recorder. Alright, I'll stop now.
). thanks for any and all advice, and sorry if I sound like a jackass.
