I have an AMD K6-3/350 with 128 megs RAM. My soundcard is the Creative AWE 64 Gold, and I have Cakewalk Express Gold. I also have a Mitsumi rewriteable CD drive.
I would greatly appreciate the answers to the following questions, if anyone would be willing to help me.
First, using the above system, how best to record multi tracks? Is it even possible? I'm reading a lot on this bulletin board about musicians recording directly using their PC's...I'm wondering if I am generally set up to do the same.
My other question is with regard to my thoughts about purchasing the Boss BR-8...I understand I can use it to record 8 tracks/up to 16 virtual tracks, (though I'm not sure what use it is when I'm hearing that one can only get under 5 minutes using several tracks)...but what I need to know in addition to the time available on the zip disks is...
Do I need to purchase a zip drive for my computer, and if so, can I then go directly from a zip disk (out of the Boss BR-8), and mix to my rewriteable CD drive, or how can I best (and least expensively) mix my recordings to my CD drive?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone has to lend.
Happy night...
