Question
Jason- I want to ask you. I have a roland br 8 recorder but i suppose the
question could apply to any of those fostex/tascam recorders. I need to transfer
the music to cds. how do you get the music from the zip disc they use to cd? I
have an apple computer- older one g4. it has gargage band.

Answer
Hey Mal. from what I see, you would use the digital out to connect to your computer & either transfer/export the .wav files direct, or record into GB from the digital in. Sorry, that's all the help I can provide you with, as I've never really gotten into the little one-stop recording stations. Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.

Expertise




I specialize in Macintosh recording systems on OS X & am well versed in most of the available software titles relative to the platform. I can answer most questions about home recording in general such as: Mic placement, recording/mixing/mastering techniques, control room set up, acoustics & acoustical treatment & choosing the right equipment for specific recording applications. I do not answer PC related questions, or questions pertaining CD/DVD copying or ripping.

Experience

I have been working in studios for over 20 years both as a recurring artist playing on my own recordings & as a session musician, engineer & producer. I run a Mac based studio from my home, use mostly Logic or Garageband. I'll use Garageband for writing & Pre-Prod & move the project over to Logic afterwards. I also have experience using Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Ableton Live & many others. My preferences are Logic & Pro Tools & as such my area of expertise is focussed in these two apps. I'm also an IT guy, sysadmin & electronics technician so can help with technical questions relating to studio operation & maintenance.
