Re: Re:2-Channel Stereo Recording from the Soundboard

Iīm very conservative and boring in that respect, Iīm mostly recording
straight to DAT, using a Tascam DA-30 (old faithful). I just donīt trust MD
or other media that use memory cards for recording and playback. An MD is
okay when it comes to ambient field recordings but I still believe thereīs 
a
considerable loss in audio quality due to sample conversion algorithms. 
Itīs
okay for certain things (like replacing your trusty old Wlakman while
commuting to work on Londonīs tube) but as a basis to start producing oneīs
own music from... I donīt know, this still gives me some serious headache.
