[Ham-Computers] Re Stand Alone CD Burners

[Jim Brampton]

I do have a wo589 stand alone audio burner by Pioneer. The unit cost as 
much as you could get a 400+MHZ machine and a burner. It uses Audio 
disks that are not the same as a data CDR and were much more expensive 
than CDR for computer until I found 200 at a surplus shop that did not 
recognize the difference.
The machine works like a cassette deck. Push record this wait 5 seconds 
and push play to lay down a track and push pause to end of stop the 
track. If you use pause you can push play to start the next track.
The trouble with audio is that you have to catch the gap between sounds 
if you want to have separate tracks on the CD. You miss the gap and you 
get track lengths that do not match the vinyl.

I found it was better to use Steinberg Clean 4.0 Plus  It includes a usb 
powered pre-amp. Restoration software for surface noise and the ability 
to record and then cut the end or beginning of a track. You then have 
tracks that match the vinyl and can leave in or take out the needle 
contacting the vinyl. I like to leave the cue up or down of the needle 
on the Cd.
