Hi Dak! When you 'get to to the computer' do you mix it using software on the computer? I know some people mix it from tape onto a cd file some like to run it into the computer and use that software for mixing/mastering, etc. I've also given a friend a file that was straight from tape mixed up to a cd file and then he put it in his computer program - I forget what he uses I think SoundForge or something? and then he applied some mastering to 'smooth' it out. I'm done having other people do that for me though I need to find and use a method to do on my own. Anyway, wondering what you use for that purpose?

I'll check out the Sony TC D5M ProII recorder thx for letting me know what u liked to use!

Anna, because there are only two tracks, they are, essentially, mixed when recorded. I set the levels where I want them before hitting record. Once in there I'll import to n-Track Studio and add eq, compression or what ever, if the tracks need them. Then I'll mix the tracks down and convert to mp3 if I need to convert them. I also use a program called Acoustica for tweaking/mastering if I want a more finished product but for quickie demos I don't always do that.
The Sony TC D5M ProII is a cool little recorder but it is only a two track so you'll only get one or two track and you can't bounce tracks like you can with one of the dedicated 4 track machines. This recorder was used by radio and television stations for live, remote, taped audio work, interview & so on but I find it works very well for recording my gigs.
