Topic: recording onto CD

Hi all,

at the moment, i'm still in the tape-age - recording my singing and guitar work onto a good old sinple tape.

but what would you recommend for putting it onto CD at an affordable price?


I could either use some sort of portable CD recorder, or something that transfers tapes onto CD


All suggestions greatly appreciated.


Thank you

Re: recording onto CD

hi blind,

I use my computer. I only have a built in sound card but still does the job, but a good sound card would be better.


I use a program called "cakewalk guitar pro 3"

this is a 32 track studio on my computer. After recording your tracks the ycan be saved in the guitar pro3 to mess about wit hlater and also saved as a wav file to be turned into an mp3 later.

The mp3 convertor I had on it ran out of time for the free demo on it and wants me to pay for an upgrade, so instead I downloaded a free mp3 convertor from the net.


Also I have a program called fruit loops version 6. this is a drum machine, or I use it as a drum machine. D.J's use it for mixing sounds etc. but the drum machine part is excellent on it. After you have a drum rythum it can be imported into guitar pro3,


hope this helps.

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending
