Message: [QUOTE="btmusicman, post: 23877"] Thanks for the responses. I see that I made a mistake in my original post. The computer in the music room is a Pentium 3 with a basic from-the-factory audio card, not a P2 as I originally specified. Does this make any difference when considering whether to use the computer as a workstation? Someone local suggested that I use an ART Pro MPA stereo mic preamp, run it into a DAT machine and then into a CD recorder. What do you think of the ART preamp? (I know it gives tube color to the signal. Is this good?) And why use a DAT machine in this way? Why not just go directly to a CD recorder? What advantage does the DAT machine give? And would there be any editing capability at all with such a setup? What audio cards would you recommend? [/QUOTE]
