Mixing to a CD-R/CD-RW

[Darkhorse]

Would it be stupid/wrong to go to best buy and get a CD recorder/re-writer and mix down from my Tascam analog 8-track to the CD recorder. Would it really help my sound? Would it be worth the money I spend on it? Or would it be wiser to just mix down to a normal audio tape and take it to a professional who could put the mix on to CD and possibly master it?

DO IT TO IT, BRO!!!

HEY, DARKHORSE!
I THINK IN MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE COMING FROM AN ANALOG SOURCE, YOU WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE CD-R. EVEN IF YOUR ONLY GAIN WOULD BE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO CAPTURE AS CLOSE TO POSSIBLE WHAT YOU HAVE ON TAPE W/O ADDING OR LOSING ANYTHING DUE TO TAPE LIMITATION. (OR IT WOULD SEEM) I ALSO THINK THAT YOU WOULD CHAMPION THE CAUSE BY ADDING A CD-R JUST TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD MIXDOWN MEDIUM AND YOU COULD ALWAYS UPGRADE YOUR OTHER GEAR WHENEVER FINANCES ALLOWED!
FURTHERMORE, I THINK JUST BY POSTING THIS QUESTION YOU SHOW THAT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT YOU WILL BE IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL SO ATTAINING GEAR A PIECE AT A TIME WOULD BE A GREAT WAY FOR YOU TO HAVE UNLIMITED TIME TO LEARN AND PRACTICE WITHOUT GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL, BECAUSE ISN'T THE HANDS-ON APPROACH THE WHOLE REASON WE TAKE UP HOME RECORDING, ANYWAY?
NOT THE GOSPEL BUT JUST A FEW WORDS I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE W/ YOU. HOPE YOU ALL THE BEST!!!
