Re: Visu-Lite Cymbal Confusion

2003-12-04 by Jay

As a matter of fact, we record to MiniDisc through a standard 8
channel mixer. We record every practice, usually 2 hours, and it all
fits on one disc. Then I rip the session to my Mac using a simple
little recording app called Sound Studio, and then use iTunes to
convert to MP3. It sounds tedious, but the process doesn't take too
long. The problem is that I do indeed keep every recording and the
Gigs of songs that accumulate can take up alot of space! heh

You would not believe how helpful this is to us. We can sit at work
the day following a practice and listen to everything we did. Find out
what went right, or in most cases what went wrong. I HIGHLY recommend
MiniDiscs to everyone out there. They are affordable, stupid easy to
use, sound fantastic, and virtually indestructable. And you can reuse
the discs over and over. Very handy.
