Re: OT: other recorder recommendations ?

don't expect to edit onboard this thing.  Otherwise, it works great for
basic live recording and burning to a CD.   It advertises all kinds of
mastering features (limiting compression, EQ), but its interface is SO BAD
that all I was really able to do was normalize.  Even inserting track 
breaks
was a serious pain.   If you can get one cheap, maybe do it, but last I 
knew
these were going for over a grand.  I bought one and returned it after two
very frustrating recording experiences.
