And finally...digital recorders...again!

Well, I bought a digital recorder recently. A Fostex 8 track, recording to flash memory, with that all important phantom power, and 2 track simultaneous recording. And very good it is too, CD audio quality, easy to use, and quite inexpensive. But I'm still mixing the tracks down on the computer! So top marks for portability and ease of use - not so great for polishing the finished product.

Just thought you might like to know!

Good luck!

Finally...

Always listen to what you have recorded, listen to the final track on different music players with different speakers, consider what you have done, and what you like and don't like. Listen to what other people do, and criticize is constructively.

Basically - learn to hear what's there, and learn to leave it for a while to refresh your ears and hear what's really there.
