what's the difference between this and just using straight iTunes?

And I hope you use the Lame plugin to iTunes for MP3s.

Sure, I posted it in the EQ'ing a Mix thread. Put a couple screenshots, as well.

I'm going to check out LAME, had just been using the standard "Convert to MP3" in iTunes. Sounds like LAME produces a better quality MP3. Thanks!

a pretty basic set-up:

Kristal - which i find to be simple, but works with plug-ins and gives me enough of a production palette.

[slight aside] does anyone else use Kristal? have you found that it offsets your individual tracks by a few seconds/bars after recording? it's my only gripe with an otherwise very cool little toolbox.[/slight aside]

Mthree Development's .WAV to .MP3 converter. it gets the job done and it's free.
