>>I've been using Cool Edit Pro on the PC for a few years now.... Previously I've used tape, and had to edit out clicks in the audio with a razor blade.....<<
agreed- I use sonic foundry stuff for editing audio and making cd's, and the sample-accurate editing is a boon. also, being able to redraw damaged waveforms (vinyl clicks &c) with a pen and tablet, and line up crossfades to the nearest sample....
all great, for sure.
but I've used several daw devices, basically glorified portastudios with hard drives (roland vs880, korg d1600).
somehow it's not such a satisfying experience as laying something to tape.
with the latter, one somehow feels that one has captured a performance rather than just trapped some data.... it may just be a sentimental thing, but it deeply affects my creative processes; there's a sense of having committed to a take of something when it's been put on tape and can't be manipulated so easily, and this sense gives one the freedom to move on to the next stage of the composition or recording. with the digital version, I feel that because more manipulation is possible, it's somehow mandatory.....
anyone else feel like this?
I'm going back to four-rack (revox 274) for writing, though I'll still master to cd and edit in vegas.
duncan.
