hello
I was looking into buying a philips cd recorder. I noticed in the specs, they all have 1 bit analog to digital converters. Isnt that bad?

Hi Goblin! I was reading about these,I think it was in Electronic Musician.First of all,it's good.The idea is to get the clock speed up so fast that the 1 bit actually does a better job than 16 or 24.The guy used an analogy of a row of 16 light bulbs being turned on and off in a random sequence.At no time are all the bulbs glowing.Now,with 1 bulb,even if it's being switched on and off,if you get the rate of on/off fast enough,it looks like it's burning brightly all the time.(I guess it's like motion pictures as well).Cheers!

Aha Esteemed moderator of MD-8:>
I still think the Alesis Masterlink is the best option, other than direct PC CDRW, for burning CD's. I haven't ordered one yet but I've yet to hear anyone who has ordered one complain about the unit.
So, if you Masterlink users out there are happy with the product, LET US KNOW, PRONTO.
Nilbog: did some recording, about 5 songs with my favorite canary; mixed one tape, played it in the car, not Happy with it; re-mixed the tape and came away 90% better mix.
Ahh, the vagaries of the reverb unit and exact control of the sliders and I credit my Sony ES tape deck with its auto-matic recording level device for the nice mix.
But, I ramble.

And, The Great Scaly one has just told me he will get me back to the Green Hornet. I'm waiting.

I bought the Pioneer PR509 (?). It's pretty nice. Better than the Philips because it has an input volume control, and what seem to be better meters. I quickly mixed one cd and it sounded good!
GH: Did you mix down the first time on the same day you recorded?

I, too, avoided the Philips machines. I purchased the Harman Kardon CDR2, primarily because I was going to be doing a good bit of duping, plus the feature set was better. One of the only things I sorta wish it had was the fade-in/fade-out function, which doesn't really bother me. I'm also with you on the analog input level knob. One problem with the Philips method is that the inc/decs aren't smooth. I think they move a couple dbs at a time (read that in a review somewhere). Oh well, great purchase! Congrats!
P.S. If you need low cost disks, I'll tell you where to pick them up (read: Nashua CDRs at Staples, and CompUSA, which for a name brand or store brand are awesome)

I did NOT MIX DOWN THE SAME DAY I RECORDED. I did it two days later; however, I played the tape in my car and did not like what I heard; so, I went back to the studio and did it again and DID LIKE WHAT I HEARD IN THE CAR.
I think the big problem with mixing is {if you are using a vocalist} keeping the vocalist up front of the music. I never mix using the headset; it's such a good medium but it does not really tell you what you will get on tape/etc. So, I really concentrated on my speakers. [two sets of them] and, like all good stuff, it takes time and patience and time and suffering and hoping your talent will say, "GOD, THAT'S GREAT AND I LOVE YOU."

I may have misunderstood your post; I don't have my CD burner yet; I was just commenting on my research into the Alesis unit, Masterlink. I think that's the one I'll go for.
When I do record on the MD-8, I usually take a day's rest before I do any mixing. Gives my ears a chance to hear Kato say, "...shall I get the Black Beauty Ready Sir?"
