If I understand you correctly you want to have a little creative fun with your existing CD collection. The only cost effective way to go is a computer based setup. I would avoid the iMac, it doesn't allow for expansion cards which you'll need for digital I/O. My own setup is a G4 with a RME I/O card; the A/D is an outboard Apogee Rosetta. You might want to consider the Lynx Two card. It has 192kHz/24bit digital conversion, a software mixer and has a reputation for excellent sonics. For software I recommend t.c. works SparkXL. It's a professional quality, 2 channel mastering programs with effects (reverb, EQ, limiter, compressors, etc.) The total cost is a little over $3,000, but it will give you a powerful platform for sonic manipulation. It will also allow for future software and hardware expansion.
Remastering my own cd's
Hey, can I rerecord (is that a word?) or in a amature way remaster my old cd's?
I am thinking about going straight from cd to amp. (wadia or what else should I consider)
I think this makes the original recording ultimate critical for my listening pleasure. I dont care about what the original sounds like I paid my hard earned $$$ for what I like. I kind of like some effects and equalization is a must. But I might want to record the same music different ways.
When I grow up I want to be a studio engineer but I got to have a day job.)wife and kids and eat thing(
Am I out in right field or what, has anyone else ever tried this? is it software, hardware, or whatever?
I like mainly classic r&r and modern alternative, the rock recorded the worst.
Any help or suggestions appreciated, getting the new imac with the dvd burner but I need this recorded material to play in a meridian or possibly wadia cd player and installing new audio system in car(need help there also). Would like media to play in all.
