Scott,
Congrats and as you know I have both the new Tascam SX 1LE and laptop. IMO you made a wise decision. The dedicated recorders, record without a hitch, press record and go, done deal, instead of "mousing about."

Prepare yourself to be disappointed though in the speed that it burns to cd. The dedicated recorders are smarter than we are, in that to do a good clean burn one should not exceed 4x's which is painfully slow, but clean. The recorders know this and burn slow. I have burned at many speeds on my pc and at the faster speeds I have had crap recordings that do odd things in players.

I believe if we did a retest of the lap vs the new Tascam, the results would come out differently. That does not really matter though, because either of the 2 in the last test were perfectly acceptable results.

Good luck with the new toy. Merry Xmas to Scott.
Terry
