It seems like yesterday when I made my first attempt at
finding an affordable digital multi-track recorder for
my small home recording studio. Needing to replace my
outdated 4 track analog recorder, I searched quite awhile
for a reasonably priced recorder. Finally, I was able to
find a digital recorder with most of the features I was
looking for.
I was amazed at the capabilities of this machine; the
clarity of sound it duplicated and the ease of operation
were fantastic. My music mixes never sounded better.
Every month or so, some new technological invention,
especially in the digital realm, appears on the market.
For today's young people, it is common place to have at
their disposal anything they find appealing.
For some of us "older folks" to say the least, we are
amazed, at times, even overwhelmed by all the "techno"
gizmos on the market. I feel like a kid in a candy
store when I research all the new devices out there,
but I am a rare bird for my age and sex. I'm one of
the very few women who pine over "electronics" instead
of the latest fashion craze.
I constantly search the internet for information on all
the new products. I want them all, but can only afford
a few of these new devices. But, when narrowing down my
choices, I usually opt to keep up with all the music
related products for enjoyable listening and more efficient
and advanced ways to take my music and recording to the next
level.
There is no better way to find out all the tricks and tips
about a new device than to read about it. Oftentimes the
manufacturer's supplied user's manual, to say the least,
is in another language. Yes, I am one of those people who
prefer to learn by doing, but sometimes this is the slow
way and does more harm than good. I have lost many good
demos because of my hasty button pushing. My eyes often
play tricks on me because part of using digital devices
is getting used to the tiny menu screens.
E-books are great for reading in your spare time. I
like to download them and read at my leisure. When my eyes
are not working properly, I use the "zoom in", sit back and
read all about my new device.
