I am thinking of bying a cable to mix down from my tascam488mkII to the computer.....
1.How will this sound anyone tried it?
2.If I get a CD writer and put my files on CD will they play on an ordinary CD player??
thanks
 
A cable sounds fine, what about software ?

Once you burn waves to a cd they will play on any cd player.
 
You may already know this, but dumb advice sometimes helps. You must record to CD-R's, not CD-RW's. That is, if you want them to play in any CD player.
It took me a couple tries and a trip to the CompUSA store to figure this out.

If the BR-8 has a S/PDIF out(pretty sure it does) and if your CD-R has a S/PDIF in,you're in business!
 
Hi, Ray...thanks so much...unfortunately whatever an S/PDIF in is, I don't see one. Any other thoughts or ideas you could share with me? What I was thinking is...if I record to a zip disk on the BR-8, and I buy a zip drive for my computer...can't I simply slip the disk with my music on it into the zip drive in my computer, record it onto my hard drive, and then to CD-R from there? Oh wait...that wouldn't make sense, would it? I'd have to find a way to get the tracks I have mixed down on the zip disk into a .WAV form, right?

Ugh...I'm so confused. Geez, all I wanna do is record some music. :)

Any thoughts/ideas/advice would be very much appreciated.

I do have a computer obviously, with a sound card (AWE 64 Gold) and I have Cakewalk Express Gold, and I have a Mitsumi CD-R...anything I can do with these...either with or without the Boss BR-8?

Thanks in advance! :)

Okay,I thought you had a stand alone CDR like the Phillips or Pioneer.If your burner is in your computer,you need a sound card with that now famous S/PDIF input.Almost all audio soundcards now sold have it.It looks like a normal RCA jack that you'd see on the back of a reciever or tape deck,but it needs a 75 ohm cable to function correctly.You would also need some software like Adaptec CD creator or equivalent,and yeah,your audio needs to be in WAV format.Cheers!
