Help - PC or CD recorder?

Dear SoundMan, Here's the issue: should we buy a dedicated CD burning recording system or could this be handled with existing equipment and electronics and recorded using a networked PC? - Neale -

Dear Neale,

There is no less expensive, extremely uncomplicated and easy to use, faster to finished recording, system available than a stand-alone CD recorder such as the MicroBoard CopyWriterLive. Using this recording system will not require any additional skills or any adjustment to the routine that has already been established by mimicking the current cassette tape based system you have been using up to this point and will give you all the advantages (very high quality audio, low cost of expendables, flexibility of formating for any need, complete compatibility with current and future technology) that digital recording offers. No PC based system is this easy and inexpensive to use.

It is set up so that when turned on you only have to push one button to record. At the end of the service you will have a complete digital recording that you can 1- use immediately in any CD and most new DVD players 2 - make high speed copies with the same machine with the same one button ease 3 - use the CD to post the audio file to the internet or portable iPod.

I showed the assistant pastor, in less than five minutes, how to (using the computer already in her office) edit the audio from the service and create a new CD with just the extracted sermon on it and burn it to a disk using the free iTunes software already installed on her machine. That same software just as easily can create a file for podcasting and web broadcast.

Sincerely - SoundMan -
