I'd say the exact opposite. I'd LOVE to say TR, but when I had it installed, it's drivers mucked around with all sorts of other audio software, which pretty much forced me to uninstall. Soundforge will do a little more than you NEED it to, but it's not that huge, and it works great, doesn't up my settings like total recorder did. |

| Total Recorder totally ed up my sound card, by adding that dreaded software emulation. Had to unistall it and put Sound Forge. No more of that Total Garbage. |

How is it with the quality of recorded set?
Is there a difference in quality between the programs you use to record your set or it not depends on the program?
My second question:
When I use to record my set, using vinyls, isnt the quality degraded because of the analog>digital and digital>analog converters on soundcard?
Do you get better quality when you connect the mixer to the amplifier and then to the CD-recorder or something?
I have Pioneer DJM300 mixer and Sound Blaster Platinum 5.1 soundcard. |

I use Sound Forge 7, with a SB Audigy Platinum. The RCA's from the mixer go into the aux2 RCA inputs (card came with extra bay full of inputs/outputs) and I've never noticed any problem with the sound quality. YMMV, but I don't think that TR vs. SF7 would make much of a differance. |

Well, I didnt mean sound quality problems.
But from the decks come analog sound, and thats the advantage in term of quality, compared to cd´s or mp3s.
But maybe when you get the sound through soundcard, you lose the advantage because of the converters. That was my point. |

I really really doubt your going to notice the differance. Most of the analog "warmth" is just small imperfections/pops/etc, which will be recorded just fine ;). I don't think you can do anything about it getting switched to digital though... CD's are digital, MP3's are digital... Put a record player in your car perhaps ? |
