Digital input from MD to CPU

Recommended Posts

Hello- I'm brand new to this forum and I was wondering if there is any way to digitally transfer my live recordings from my Sony MZ-R700 Minidisc to my computer. I am willing to consider buying any nessisary hardware, I'm just wondering if it's possible- maybe a drive to install on my computer? or a docking station of some type?...

thanks for all your help in advance!!

No. There isn't any hardware you can buy for your computer to help because you need to alter the source, your mz-r700 which does not have an optical/digital out.

If you are willing to spend for hardware, consider an md deck with an optical out such as the Sony MDS-JE780 or 980 and there are a few more decks available with the optical out. If you want to conserve money, buy the JE480 and do the necessary after-market adjustments to make the 480 a deck with an optical out. The instruction thread is here in the forums, just use "search".

travelin, have you considerred or attempted to record them in analog? there is a wonderful free/gnu program in our downloads section called 'audacity' that will record & allow editing.
