A better way would be to import the CD "tracks" into an Audio program on your computer, such as Sonar, Cubase & others, then hook up a mic to a preamp to a soundcard, and record your new vocals into the computer where you can then mix them, add effects, mixdown, and burn a CD of your own, all in the computer.
You don't need a MD or other stand-alone unit for what you are trying to do.
Also with the setup I described you can do more than "1 track vocals", you can layer harmonies, add instruments, sampled beats, whatever you want to try.
I knew that multitrack was for recording different sources at once.
applesmasher said:TexRoadKill- Yes, thanks for the advice. That is what i am trying to do is consume as much info as possible before I go buy anymore stuff. Thats why my 120 posts in all the different areas. As far as the Multi track Vs. Minidisc for my humble operations ive gotten alot of reccomendations for a both, and quite a few for just getting a good soundcard and hooking my stuff in through that. If I understood how an extra track could be used to help sing in time, tempo etc, then it might tip the scales on that decision.
applesmasher said:OOOkay i see! Well i was thinking you meant like a 4 track recorder or something when you said multitrack. So you can see how I would be confused since im only recording one thing. I understand what you mean now. And thats basically what im planning on doing is arranging the different tracks in pro tools. I guess to sing in time ill just have to sing with some headphones on with the background music playing from a cd player, and then try to sync up the vocals and music afterwords on the computer. Im hoping if I get some insulated headphones that the noise wont go through the mic. This discussion has kind of strayed away from if I need a 4 track recorder or just a mini disc but thats cool theres alot of good information here i think for me and any other novices.![]()
