I am only a songwriter Jim. And when I got into Digital I wanted a Stand Alone Recorder. I first (Still) use a cassette recorder to record my Guitar Vocals then copy them onto CD and make copies to send out from there. I don't need 40 tracks to make a basic demo.

I'm sure it is a lot cheaper to make a commerical CD with computer music but ya know, it is beginning to all sound the same! It was 100 percent better when the Artist went into the Studio with Real Musicians and Recorded live. No wonder no one is making any money in music today!

I downloaded some of my songs into my computer and then tried recording them onto CD with the computer. They recorded Ok but would not play back in a CD player. Bummer.
