Guest Anonymous Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Hi all, I have some recordings spread over multiple MDs and would like to move them all on one. How can I do that ? I can't check in files to my PC that were not checked ot from it... Any help ? Thanks Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 This isn't easy. I have used two methods, but others might make better suggestions. If you have a couple of MD units, at least one play and one record, then: First, I used the digital out from my home deck into the digital input of my portable recorder. Oh yeah, I had a SCMS stripper in between to get the copy to happen. Second, You could make a real time analog recording from one MD unit to the other. If you only have one unit and you have a computer, Use the WinNetMD program from Christian Kulkas, record in realtime using analog inputs (unless you have an MD deck with digital out you can hook up to a digital input on your computer) to create discrete .wav files from the MD's. Then record them to new MD's using analog out, digital out or import them into NetMD software (Sonicstage for instance) then you can begin to check them in and out. None of these are very easy. Eventually, I used the last method mentioned to copy most of my favorite songs that were only on MD to my Sonicstage database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 SCMS stripper? Explain, please. I didn't know that could be done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 The one I have is: http://www.minidisc.org/copybit/copybit.html I bought it assembled from someone on the MD List some years back. Don't think these are easy to find anymore. It was just an assembled circuit board which I needed to buy a case and power adapter for. It works well. Lets me make digital copies of audio content from DVD's from the DVD players digital out also. Another way is with this device: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...-CO3&type=store These things are admitedly a little expensive, but they do the job. I didn't know about the CO3 when I bought my stripper. I think the CO3 would be much better. Complete, professional package with many options. It's almost worth the money just to scoff at the irritating SCMS limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 *Whistles* Wow, that's pretty impressive...although that is quite expensive! I guess I'll look into the self-assembly one, it'd be a fun project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100thMonkey Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 So what do you guys think about this setup to dub live interviews of my wife's radio broadcast in order to distribute to multiple radio stations: Originally recorded on Sony MDM-X4 (no digital outs ) then, original is dubbed through : 1. Sony MDS-JE520 with TOClink digital optical out (source) 2. then passed through MM-CO3 (both digital/optical in and out) 3. recorded in Sony NZ-707 (digital optical input) will this give exact replicas worthy of distribution?
