- You'll need a dedicated harddisk audio recording package and they ain't
- cheap! Why don't you master onto DAT tape then record the DAT songs
- direct onto the CD-R?? You could use both the Korg i3 and the AWE-64
- Gold soundcard, master the songs onto DAT then once you've finished
- record the CD direct through the CD-R..
-
- It might be better if you had somekind of multi-track recording
- system, because then you could record the KORG i3 and AWE-64
- separately, but mix them together with any vocals you sing then Master
- this to DAT.. Once you got your DAT master you can then cut the
- recordable Gold Disc in the CD-R..
-
- You'll need something like "SAW" Software Audio Workshop or Emagic
- Logic Audio for a harddisk multi-track recording environment and
- this will kill your bank manager!
-
- Hire an 8-Track Alesis ADAT for a week, master your songs using the
- KORG i3, AWE-64 and vocals on separate tracks (use SMPTE/MIDI Clocks to
- lock the ADAT to your computer, for the AWE-64 and the KORG i3) then
- you could master this to DAT then again, once you've got the DAT master
- you can cut as many writable CDs as you want..
-
- I wouldn't record audio direct onto a CD-R disk you need somekind of
- mixing inbetween, and somekind of audio processing to enable you to
- blend all the elements together..
-
- A word of warning about using a KORG i3 in a recording studio, turn
- "OFF" the EXCITER FX in the STYLES and ARRangements otherwise you'll
- add an extra 30% - 40% to your VU levels.. And this sounds distorted!

- [Kipland Iles] I have had some success using Cakewalk Pro Audio and a
- CardD+. The CardD is only required if you are unhappy with the audio quality
- of your existing audio card. I have had problems with line noise on some
- Sound Blaster compatible cards so a better card was desired.
-
- With Cakewalk Pro Audio, The CardD+, Alesis Adat, Key Midiator, and multiple
- sound modules and keyboards I have been able to add 8 tracks of digital audio
- on the computer to 8 tracks of ADAT audio and as many MIDI tracks as
- required, all synced by SMTE. This was done on a 133MHZ pentium with 32MB of
- memory and a non-dedicated audio drive (this system used the system drive to
- store the WAV audio files).
-
- You should be able to use your existing system and audio card along with a
- program like Cakewalk to get at least two tracks of digital audio synced to
- your MIDI performance. If you use something like SAW you may require the
- dedicated un-formatted (RAW) audio disk drive. Again - be aware of the audio
- quality of some of these non-professional audio cards ( this is mainly due to
- shielding - these internal cards are sitting on the bus with a lot of noise
- generators, i.e. internal modems, etc).
-
- This is not as intimidating as it seems. Good luck and happy recording.
