Jan 2014

with a Zoom MRS1608 with an onboard CD burner. This model is now out of production but I was able to get one on EBay for $350 in late 2010, supposedly used. I was ecstatic to have it come out of the box brand new from one of the Carvin stores in CA.
I am able to record/mix/finalize tracks, burn them on a cd and then load them on my desk top.

I think Zoom has successors to this model. I feel fortunate to have the one I do. I only use about 10% of it's capabilities but it serves my purposes. When I looked at recording via a computer, it got kind of pricey via the computing power necessary.

If you send me note with your e-mail, I will send an mp3 of one of my results off of the MRS1608.
Peace
