Hi:
Another dumb newbie. I am a relatively old geezer and life-long electronics tech. Digital recording is totally new to me. Bottom Lone: I want to burn commercial pre-recorded music from LP's, Digital Tape and from CD's onto CD's to be stored and played on a Pioneer Elite 301 CD changer. I simply want to pick and choose music I like and burn onto CD's.

Concept: I do not know if I should look at burning from a computer hard drive, or if I should look at a stand-alone CD burner like a Philips PDR-W739, etc.

From what I have read, it does not look to me like the PDR-79, etc. have a hard drive in them. Looks like each track would be burned onto a CD one at a time, real time. That sounds like Murphy could jump in any where along the way to completing a CD.

For openers, please help me get my head on straight about which approach I should take to get excellent quality CD's.

Am I even posting this question in the correct forum??

Thanks for any help you might give me.
 
The Alesis Masterlink is a stand-alone, CD-recorder and mastering unit - it will do the job for you if you want to throw a bit of money at it ($1600cdn). It will provide a variety of digital signal processing capabilities (EQ, Compression, Normalizing) and track clipping functions, as well as providing very good-sounding converters that will give as good as what you put in!

For burning CDs on the computer side - someone else will have to put in their 2 cents (I use the Masterlink myself!).

Good luck....
