Hello,

First, I'm a recording newbie and humbly bow to the experts who will read this post. I'll probably use wrong terminology for some of this, so please bear with me.

I'm trying to find the best tape recorder (cassette recorder) for recording voice audio (without breaking the bank!).

Can anyone offer me some advice regarding getting a stand alone CD recorder for our new facility?

We have a budget of approximately £550 and our usual supplier has suggested a choice between the HHB830 burnit or the Marantz CDR510. We had originally wanted a Tascam CD-RW 2000 but have been told that they are now out of production.

Howdy everyone,

New to the forum but not recording. Unfortunately, I come from the pre-existing multitrack recording studios from wayyy back. Every recording device I have ever owned was a multitrack recorder from the cassette porta-04 studio to my current Roland digital 8-track.

Does anyone own one of these? It looks tempting for a budget minded guy like me, (about $800.00) but would just like to know if this piece is something you see often in the big mastering rooms.
Thanks!

Can anybody give me their opinion of the MOTU 242i digital recording system. I am currently looking at purchasing one via ebay and would like to get the low down from anybody who has actually used one.

Hey guys,
Im new to the forums [posting, not reading :) ], and new to recording!
Id first like to take the chance to thank everyone keeping this forum up and running, This is a great source of information... Ill be making my donation in the near future! As it's well deserved..

I noticed he is not a moderator and has no recent posts...

Howdy,

This is my first post ever, so please forgive any unintentional tramplings on etiquette.

I'm trying to decide which digital recorder to buy. I have a few general criteria:

1. The capability of producing pro-studio quality masters. (Whether or not my skills develop to that point is still to be determined.)

I am a 17 year old Sr. at Lynnwood High School in WA. my Sr project (manditory to graduate) is home recording.

My band has our own fair share of mic's good and bad. an Audigy EX plat sound card. Cool Edit pro software, Eurotrack UB2442Fx Pro Behringer mizing board (16 inputs) and a Yamaha EMX 860Si.

Hi Recorderman, I'm sure you're tired of getting called out, but I have a question that I could not find in your instructional threads. Using your technique with 2 cardioid condensers (Large diaphragm), which direction do you aI'm the capsules? (I could only find your info on actual mic placement)

THANKS!
