In the past I've gone from the mixer straight into pro tools, then done a little bit of subtle mastering using plug-ins like waves or ozone. I don't have access to a pro tools rig now though
You can just as easily use something like cubase or adobe audition. People say good things about audacity too, but personally i've never used it.
recordin the sound using sony acid 5.0
records to the dps, then dps to the cd burner which has a limiter on it so the sound doesnt clip/distort.then i make copies using my computer.kind of old school way of doin things but its the only way i know how, although im about to start messing with cooledit thanks to peacefulrotation
using a Rane 57 you can record your set live as an AIF in Se[/b]rato using the computer you're playing on. some nights in the club I'll record for 3-4 hours with no problems. but if I'm using Cool Edit or Pro Tools, I use a different computer for the recording.
for home, ive used wiretap (mac related) and then s.erato on the same machine. wiretap is doesnt hogg much cpu, so it works real smooth. i wouldnt do it in the clurb though.

Is it really easy to use ?....
Step up your spelling game son!
mad easy. and really robust. ive been using it to record lectures while i use my comp in class. real helpful.
wiretap has an automated record funtion too that will open a file (ie a real audio stream file) and will record, save with a name you want (and date), and put it in a spot of your choosing. its what i usta do before podcasting got pervasive. its not hard to find a serial, but it only costs $15.
only qualm is that its peak meter isn't very big.. but it does have an "overload" light so thats cool.

I recently moved all my equipment so that I could hook up my tables to my PC for recordation. Now granted, I don't have the greatest setup as I'm using home speakers (2 15" Cerwin Vegas) and running everything through my onboard soundcard.
After a couple days (I am not tech savvy) I finally figured out how to get everything working properly as far as recording and playback (via Cubase). It works just fine when I record straight through (such as a live mix), but I run into a major problem when trying to multitrack. When I'm mixing along with whatever I've already recorded, the mix is like half a note off, yet sounds perfect when I'm actually recording it. Effin' strange! Why is that?! Does Cubase have a "make it sound like a trainwreck" button I forgot to turn off? Please help!!!

Is there a temporary fix to this? Like can I close things down to up the speed/memory for Cubase?

The legacy Digi 001.
I'm waiting on this....
The Digi 003 for pro tools.
You can record automation from this thing. Dub mixing attempt here I come. It's also midi assignable to other programs and hardware. I cant wait.
I saved $900 by trading in my 001. I only paid $700 for it so that's kinda like some profit.
My question is, I want to separate the tracks when I'm done. Should I cut them up in audacity then export them one at a time to wav or export the whole mix then use some sort of wav splitter to separate the tracks then burn to CD?
any ideas?

Theres a few tips for reducing latency here... http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=331631
Its for adobe audition but i guess some of its still applicable.
Sounds like you probably need more memory & maybe a new cpu but im no expert.
