Hi Folks,
I use to be able to hook up my audio outs from my keyboard and record to a cd recorder. Thing is busted! Any suggestions on what I should buy? I just bought the PSR2000 and don't want to piss off the wife any further on big $$$$ items. Don't worry I'm on my way to Zales tomorrow at lunch for her Christmas payback. Credit card debt is a fabulous thing. Anyway, I don't want to record through my computer. I want to go from my 2K directly to a cd burner, you know, like a tape recorder, vocals and all. Any suggestions on which CD burner to get that will leave me with a bit of genitalia when the wife finds out! Oh, the reason I don’t want to go through the computer is I’m recording her a Christmas CD and with my computer by the bed, she’s not a moron…

Thanks

Beachbum,
I have been thinking about a recorder myself and am most interested in two Tascam models, one which sells for about $400 and the other for about $500.

Let us know what you get. Lanny

Why not get a minidisc recorder, put it all down to minidisc and then hook it up to the pc when she's not around!

Very timely post .... I'm on the same track, but have been looking at the Phillips 775 to 785 models..... Less expensive than the prices quoted here, especially on e-bay ....anyone with any info on their quality? .... thnx .....

For the prices of some of those stand-alone CD burners, you could almost buy a new computer these days. I recently bought Yamaha's newest CD burner, CRW-F1, as an internal unit for my computer for $199 and it is incredibly fast. I can burn an entire CDR in three minutes. It has special settings for audio-mastering and it also has a neat T@2 ("tatoo") feature that let's you burn images and text into the unused space on the data-side of the CDR. Here's the website for it:

BB,
I mix down to an Alesis Masterlink, which has worked flawlessly for a couple of years. It has a 9gig hard drive on board, with provisions for 5 seperate songlists, internal dsp etc.
jam on,
Terry

I've been pleased with the HHB 850. It's a little pricey, but works well with both professional and consumer CDs.

Tony ,
Phillips Burners not not allow you to use the lesser expensive cd's . You pay $1.40 a CD vs. .55 cents . Some consumer models do not have analog inputs or EQ and compression ( Sony CDRW 33).

Great replies as always.
I'm thinking about giving one of these a shot. http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11174287&m=1&cat=3&scat=6 http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11184646&m=1&cat=3&scat=6
I've got the sound mixed on the keyboard and recorded to disk. Now all I have to do is record it to the cd with vocals.

I suppose I have another choices.
I could record it to my yamaha 4 track tape which would mix it futher. Then record it to the CD unit. However, if I do it that way the cd-recorder would be $249 waste of money. At that point I should invest in a sound card with RCA in's and burn it on my computer. If I do it that way will I have to get a music software program to filter it to the cd?
I just like to keep things simple. Record on the keyboard then record it to disk without putting it here and taking it thier.
