Hey Gang,

I'll try and make this quick.

Have finally finished recording, mixing down first CD. Very happy with results, songs fit well together, well balanced.

Put CD into 5-disc changer, mine is considerably quieter than commercial CDs.

I've recorded things hot, not distorted throughout process. Good Signal to noise. Also stayed away from anything fancy insignal path, maybe too far away.

Equipment:

Tascam 688 to Tascam DAT to Cheap CD burner.

No Compression, levels look good and disc sounds consistant by itself. I just want it to sound better side by side with other discs.

I know I'm living in the stone age compared to most of you guys and gals but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Why didn't you mix direct to CD?

I understand having a DAT copy for a mastering house, but I think for burning your own CD's I would have left the DAT machine out of the signal chain.
