The MasterLink ML-9600 combines hard disk recording, editing, digital signal processing, and the world's most advanced high-resolution CD-R format for creating professional, fully finished 2-track masters.

Here's how it works: record your 2-track mixes onto MasterLink's internal hard disk. Arrange songs into playlists with precise control of fades and track start points. Fine-tune your master with built-in DSP Finishing Tools, then record it to CD using inexpensive CD-Rs. MasterLink will create standard 16-bit Red Book CDs, as well as AIFF-compatible high-resolution discs up to 24-bit, 96kHz.

Offering amazing flexibility and control, MasterLink is fully compatible with today's CD and digital formats, yet it also delivers the high-resolution audio quality you'll need for the future.

Features
Huge internal hard disk recorder...up to 5 hours of 2-track audio capacity.

Burn CDs using Standard "Red Book" (16-bit/44.1kHz) and high resolution formats - up 24-bit, 96kHz.

Choose any combination of digital resolutions (16-, 20-, and 24-bit) and sample rates (44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96kHz) with full AIFF compatibility.

Organize song playlists with total control of fade-ins, fade-outs, track pain, start points, track cropping, and more.

Stores 16 different playlists containing up to 99 songs each.

Onboard digital signal processing: compression, EQ, limiting, and normalization.

Uses inexpensive, readily available CD-Rs.

As a songwriters tool, the Masterlink is perfect for capturing every improvisational idea that any songwriting session can produce. In addition, it is the perfect storage device for any songwriter to store their entire collection of work. Every songwriter should own a Masterlink. Alesis receives daily reports that more and more mastering facilities are receiving projects sent to them on Masterlink discs. This is proof positive that the Masterlink has become the industry standard mix down device for home, project, and professional studios.

As a live recording tool, sound engineers can now record extended performances without worrying about changing DAT tapes or blank CD's. This is especially important in recording classical performances where uninterrupted recording is expected.

"A non-tech opinion..."
Feature:
The ability to mix and burn a CD right then is a major factor with me. And while I rarely use the mastering features, I prefer to send a finished mix out to a fresh set of ears with mastering specific equipment, for demos it'll do the trick.

Quality:
Arrived flawless and in 2 years of studio work it has never failed.

Value:
The combo or price, quality and features make this a lot of bang for the buk!

Desirability:
I don't know if it's sexy, I'm more into the practical applications. It's a piece of rack gear.

Sound:
Clean, clear digital sound. If you're okay with with digital this is as good as it gets.

Support:
I've never had a problem. No news is good news...

Overall:
The ability to mix, burn a CD and immediately listen to exactly the same sound that the mastering engineer will hear on a variety of sources - Monitors, home stereo, car, boom box... - has changed the way I mix. I always hated cassettes...

Style of Music: Rock n roll

"The Future!"
I feel the masterlink is the best purchase i've made.I basically use it as a two-track recorder and the results are excellent.high resolution recording,sample rate conversion on-board effects,all for under a grand,and i upgraded to to a 20 gig hardrive in less than an hour.And it's a cd duplicater,in my opinion it's a must have unit for all home studios.
