I'm recording again, just for my own amusement. I use a 24 bit, 16 track recorder so it's not on a computer.
I've got 2 songs done, but....here's my dilemma.
I've got no way to master to CD or digitize to MPEG.
My old HP laptop is a boat anchor, power supply is also shot.
What I want to do is, get some sort of audio/video input interface (Vidbox?), a cheap laptop that can manage that interface, & a DVD/CD burner so I can play the audio of the MPEG onto a CD.
That way I get a new computer & mastering to CD in one shot.
Any thoughts?
