Well, things have changed a lot...

E-Mu has been a biggie for a few years, that much I know - but not much
else. Basically, I got a Sound Blaster Audigy 4, but I don't use the
"interface box thingy" - I think it's supposed to let you plug in all
your "entertainment system" stuff into the audio card, but I don't have
an "entertainment system", so I just use the sound card (I can plug my
old Yamaha elecvtric piano into it, but haven't bothered yet...)
SO, to be honest, I don't even really know what "controllers" means...I
use a really old (as in, ca 1991...) bit of notation software, and
recently got Cakewalk Sonar 6 XL and am just beginning to figure out how
to use it. But I don't have a "recording studio" or anything remotely
like one, jsu the sound card. SO, although I'd like to be able to give
you some info, I can't offer very much at all :(

Hey guys;
Just go to www.nero.com you will be able to make or rip MP3's and other
extensions. You can easily make CD's with .cda extensions to burn to a CD.
He can do it all.
Have fun...

I got Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio 6 XL, and it's supposed to do all of
that, most esp. in combination with Roxio Easy CD. My problem is with
the MIDI commands and/or patches, but this isn't a Music NG so I'll skip
the details...
As for converting MP3 to CDs, you can do that merely by opening the MP3
files in Windows Media Player and following the instructions. Main
problem si that doing it that way also seems to lose all fo the
author/etc. info, so you have to be sure to write it down and then label
your CD. Also, I've not seen that a CD can be written to durther once
the session ends. But, the files *will* play on a CD player.
HTH...

Thanks, but why go backwards? ;)
I'm trying to remain libre/free/opensource and Nero looks proprietary.
I rarely use my CD/DVD writer/player anymore, and USB keys are bootable
and everything else is downloadable.

That's the kicker, th eprice. I looked at a BR system. Good grief.
Literally thousands of dollars. MEanwhile, I've not even decided yet
whether it's worthwhile to get an HD teevee. Min advantage is that the
falt scree plasm things are light and easy to move, also smaller than ou
rurrent behemoth - still using the 200 lb SOny from 1997 - but the picture
is still great, so...
((Ha, still have a curved-screen Magnavox from about 1981 - pic on it is
still good as well, tho' it doesn't hook into much of anything any more.))
