owenfi Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hello, My father owns a Yamaha MD8 minidisc recorder and has a bunch of old recordings with various numbers of tracks. What would be the best way to import them into a computer with the lowest loss of quality? I would ideally like something that brings them in as files that can be converted to WAV/AIF as opposed to "re-recording" the files through another interface. Would one of the Sony USB based portable players be able to bring in a multi-track recording? Any other approach or gear folks can recommend would be much appreciated. Thanks!

philippeb Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 You cannot export MD data multi-track recordings from the MD8 to a computer (as a set of computer files). You must play the multi-track recordings via the eight "Track Direct" analog outputs of the MD8, and re-record them. Alternatively, you can mix your recordings down to a pair of stereo tracks, and use the stereo analog outputs of the MD8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
