Maybe I'm missing a problem with this setup, but why not record through a compressor with good metering straight to a stand-alone CD recorder? You have both the metering on the comps and on the CD recorder. Making immediate multiple copies afterwards is simply a matter of ripping the CD (take

Thanks, Tom. Well, some post-processing is acceptable (we do this to prepare the files for streaming off our website). But as I mentioned in an earlier post, we need to be able burn cds immediately after the service for a few homebound elderly. So we do need to have acceptable quality right out

Are you sure you need to control the recording levels as tightly as you think? On, say, a cassette tape, "too quiet" means not only that you have to turn the gain up to hear it, but also that when you do, you hear a lot of hiss. Serious recordists will gasp at this, but you may find with digital

That's true...in truth, I never gave much thought to the DAT option. I see that it's a valid solution, particularly given the constraints I articulated in my original post. However, I failed to mention that we really need to be able to burn and duplicate CD's immediately following the service.

Thanks for the response, Jim. There's certainly no space for a second monitor, but your VNC option isn't too bad, actually. Funny that I hadn't thought of it considering I use it every day at work. And the frame rate should be decent enough over a 100mbit connection. We do generate graphics li
