Dear All, is it common doing so, and which are the best brands ??
I have made my album totally on a digital multitrack recorder. I have SPDIF out (RCA and lightpipe too) and was thinking mixing all the tracks on two (left+right)and then record them into a standalone CD-R.
Pls feel free to suggest the best way to proceed (I imagine that will be much better to keep the tracks digital and NOT using the multitrack recorder D/A, right ??

Pls quote, if possible, the Advantages/disadvantages compared to make the same process transfer via a PC amd mastering inside that???


Tks a lot
 
As for brands of CD burner, you pretty much get what you pay for, and then live with your choice.

And yes, having recorded your music digitally, you'll have to stay in the digital realm if you want to burn a CD. Just make sure that what you've recorded has been converted to 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, which is what commercial CDs are.
 
Hey Papoola,

I'm looking to do the same thing....use the SPDIF (Adat Connector) to go from the
Fostex mixer to the CD Burner....let me know what you discover.

What's is the differece if you buy a $600 CD-R recorder or if you buy a $200 one? How do they jack the price up so high when you can burn CD-R's for so much cheaper? If there is any significant options and sound quality that the $600 CD-R burners have, then I would love to hear about it.
 
The difference is usually write speed and "book"
with Red Book as the standard for ausio I believe.
I'm looking into the Alesis CD burner...
has Mastering stuff and is a hardware unit. It's costly though.....
