Back from the nutritionist and I didn't lose or gain this last week after all that stress!!! I'm down a little over eight pounds!!! In six months I will be gorgeous!!!! yea!!!

Yea Kim, recording directly onto the computer with Cakewalk is separate than recording with the Boss532. The Boss is a digital fourtrack but the Cakewalk is like having the recorder mixer without buying another machine, if I understand it correctly.

Except, doing effects are a little easier to understand on the Boss because it is all manual and it is a self contained box like the old analog four and eight tracks. YOu can do all the mixing on the Boss as well but capturing the effects while using the computer to turn smart card data into wav. or mp3 files has still eluded me.

I'm told I can run the recordings into Cakewalk and do my mixing there which I may try this weekend if I have time. I'll let you know the result. It is really fun to do three part harmonies and to have more than one instrument on your recordings!

So all in all, I would say buying Cakewalk music creator for thirty bucks and recording directly into your computer is much easier than buying a digital four or eight track machine. But I am just a (old) girl and hardly a techie....hg
