I have a special project to complete and was hoping on getting the advice from you guys.

I have to make some CD backing tracks. I will be taking the L&R outputs from my Korg keyboard into a Phillips CDR 800 CD burner.

I was hoping on putting some type of dynamic processor in line.

I would like to achieve the best audio sound I can at the highest volume.

I don't and can't use any software tools, it needs to be a piece of hardware.

I would like this unit to be easy to use as well.

I can't say that money is no object but I am willing to spend some bucks on the right piece of gear.

Thanks for help in advance.
 
I send all my stuff through it, brings it up in volume and has some usable (easy to access too) compression and eq. Says it brings it up to redbook but I have never measured other than my cds are as loud as Tom Pettys

Whah???? Redbook format doesn't have anything to do with loudness.


BTW: I got a TC Finalizer Plus (not express) on ebay for $700. It only goes up to 48k, which is all you need. Look up a used one. The newer 96k version is like 2 grand or something.
 
Meant brings it up to redbook format, sorry for the confusion I was doing two thinds at once, or was it 3, no it was two just seemed like three, or four.....
 
I don't think you'll be disappointed in this unit. The Alesis Masterlink is VERY, VERY highly regarded as a mastering deck. Heck, the encoders in that thing are so good that I've heard people say that they'd buy it just for that reason alone. I hope to pick one up myself within the next couple of months for live to 2 track recording, as well as for use as a mastering deck.

Thank you. I did order it yesterday. I do plan on using it live as well. I will report back when I've had the chance to put it through the paces.
 
Cool. Let us know how it works for you. ;)

And remember to invest in a decent rack for it, if you decide to use it for live, location recording.
