TASCAM CD-RW750 is a great cd recorder for recording live performaces. I have one and 3 or 4 of my friends have them. I have never had any problems as far as indexing and creating multiple tracks I think it is one of the easiest to use. They run around $550 which is one of the lower price ranged cd-r's |

Yes, you can use your laptop and the included sound recording utility (Mac and Windows) to record audio. From there you can record to CD or convert to MP3. Be careful, though: if you sell the recording, or even give it away, you're technically violating the license of the karaoke track and the venue's public performance license. Personally, I don't think it's worth the side money to potentially lose my business to the RIAA. That said, I would occasionally like to record some singers for my own use and sharing with friends. No way would I put it on my website though, except maybe as a low-quality video clip when I get a camera for that. |

This card comes with some great software like EAX Advance HD, EAX Console... I had in mind to purchase one of those device and everyone suggested to stick to computers, it's the way to go! |

Don't spend your money on any external device if you want my opinion, get yourself a good sound card and you're in business to record your session on your pc! |

[quote=Don't spend your money on any external device if you want my opinion, get yourself a good sound card and you're in business to record your session on your pc!] How can you record yourself singing on a laptop? Would you go through the mixer? Do you need special software? My laptop sound is sent to the mixer so how would the vocals and music get to the laptop to be recorded?  Thanks [/quote]

To record, the laptop sound would have to have an input jack (and microphone in is not preferred). With a cable going from 1/8" stereo plug to dual RCA plugs, you would connect to the "booth" or "record" RCA outputs of the mixer. That should give you everything in the mixdown including microphones. Recording audio depends on what software you have, but Windows XP comes with a basic sound recorder under Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment. (It always bugged me that Microsoft changed "Multimedia" to "Entertainment" even though people use Media Player for boring training videos and other serious things.)[/quote] |
