100thMonkey Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 I have a model SONY MDM-X4 MINIDISC MULTITRACK RECORDER. The major complicating factor is that I am wanting to digitally dub the MD's in order to maintiain fidelity, but there is no digital output on the unit...only RCA. I don't want to do an analog dub and lose fidelity Suggestions on what to do in order to digitally dub? I had thought about getting two portable MD player/recorders with digital out in order to make digital dubs. That seems to be the most economical route.

Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 MD->MD transfer wouldn't be perfect. You'd lose more fidelity in the recompression than you would by using an analogue transfer method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100thMonkey Posted May 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 what do you think that I should do then, how can I dub MD's effectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 The best way would be if you had the original tracks, to make a new MD from those. Any other way will result in somewhat reduced quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 so digital optical out from a MD deck to a digital optical input wouldn't produce a good product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 It would sound fine, I do plenty of digital MD-MD dubs and they sound great. But in absolutely terms a CD-MD dub will always produce a more faithful recording because the level of compression is single, not double.
