roba22 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'm sorry if this is to basic of a question but I am so lost I don't have a clue what I'm doing with this minidisk I will start by telling you that I'm working with a Sony MDS-JE470 MDLP or that is what the owners book says I have no clue what LP stands for... and I have been asked by my church if I can take the minidisk which we have been using to record each church service (not sure what they have it set on to record) and make CD’s that we can take over and give to our homebound members so they can listen to each service. I have a computer of course and I have a CD burner and I have a cable that connects my computer to the minidisk on oder and it will be here tomorrow. Now I need to know what I can and can not do. What type of file dose a minidisk record under? What will I see once I connect my computer to the minidisk and what will I have to do to transfer the recording over to my hard drive? And then I have also been asked to EDIT each recording on each disk to remove all the unwanted material and dead space so that only the pastors message is placed on these CD’s I am making.. Will I be able to edit the file (with software) and then make a new wav. File that I can burn onto a CD and anyone can play it in any CD player? Any help with this will be wonderful Thanks.. I have sent this in a message to a couple different peopl on here so I'm sorry if this is to much.. As you can see I'm not very good a forum rulse either..

greenmachine Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Your MD can record in SP (Atrac at 292 kbps - best quality), MONO (Atrac at 146 kbps - mono), LP2 (Atrac3 at 132 kbps - medium quality) and LP4 (Atrac3 at 66 kbps - low quality). Unless you need more than 80 minutes of recording time or the source is mono, always use SP.The transfer will be some kind of problematic, you need to do a realtime analog copy form the line-outs to the soundcards' line-in, as described here:http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=7070After this, you should have a wav file on your harddisk, which you can edit to your hearts content with an audio editor, for example the free Audacity:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/After this, you can use your favorite burning program to bring it onto CD(s), for example Nero, Alcohol or other free alternatives to make an audio CD out of it:http://www.softpedia.com/catList/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
