Tascam CDRW 750 vs. Standard CDRW
I'm trying to strengthen my signal path from ProTools to the final burn process.
Currently I'm bussing all of my 24/48 tracks, including master track to BUS 15 and BUS 16 and recording the audio to it's own track through inputs BUS 15 and BUS 16 and out Analog 1 and Analog 2 for monitoring. I then export my newly created track and then burn through Windows Media Player at 2x. Now, let's suppose I have a Tascam CDRW750 or CDRW2000 and instead of recording the master stereo track through BUS 15 and BUS 16 and output to Analog 1 and Analog 2 (Monitoring Only) I set the ouput to S/PDIF and go direclty into the TASCAM CDRW and dither/record within the Tascam unit. Or perhaps I throw in a ROSETTA 200 ro PSX-100 between the Protools and the CDRW.....I'm using an 002R and I don't know what signal path I would follow...I think I would go S/PDIF out of the 002R and in to the Roseta/PSX-100 and out S/PDIF to the CDRW. In short...should I blow the $550 on a TASCAM CDRW750 or save a little more and get a ROSETTA 200 $1700 and go back into ProTools and record and export my master from there or save a lot longer and get both? or.............factor in an analog summing device like the Dangerous 2 BUS? It's killing me....I don't want to risk blowing a purhchase on something that won't add to my final product....(currenlty: 002R, Digimax LT, Waves Diamond) Thanks for your help.....

Re: Tascam CDRW 750 vs. Standard CDRW
A few things:
1 - This is the TDM duc, and we use different hardware, so use the link at the bottom to jump to the correct forum. That said, I think maybe your question is hardware independent, so... 2 - A typical process for what you describe is to select the region you want as a file (eg, a song), and then do a Bounce To Disc (in the File menu). For an audio CD, you can tell it to save this as an interleaved 44.1k stereo file. You would then use another program to compile these completed files and make the CD with spaces, tracks, etc. A common consumer version is Roxio CD Creator (or whatever version they sell now). An example of programs that allow real and easy technical control of spacing, track and index marks, volume, fading and crossfading, etc., are the Sonic Foundry programs (now called Sony Media Software or some such) Vegas ($), CD Architect($), and ACID Music Studio 5.0 ($70 download, maybe cheaper at a store). The Sony programs (I use Vegas) allow you to normalize a file or any part of a file, so you can do the above. If you use a CD burning program that does NOT allow that, then the simplest description is to do the Bounce To Disc to multiple mono files at the session sample rate and bit depth parameters (Protools does not recognize interleaved files), import them to the session, then Normalize them (you choose if you want L/R normalized together or separately), and then do the Bounce To Disc a second time as above.
