Christopher Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 The 810 features an optical input. They have not put optical outputs in Minidisc portables since 1992. You would need a male-to-male stereo cable, which is available just about anywhere that sells electronics. As for the application you should use, I'll leave that to the others. Good luck! :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceeedtea Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 If you want (higher-quality) recordings from MD -> PC, I suggest that you look into purchasing a deck that has optical out. Then, you will need to have an optical input on your computer (soundcard - even cheap ones will do; I currently employ a $30 SBMP3+ with opt-in). However, if you want to reduce cost and still get high quality recordings by means of analogue, make sure that you use a higher-grade cable. In addition, if you have the ability to, set the unit to 'Line Out' and not 'Headphone' before recording. I've heard some things about win nmd and Rosoft Audio Recorder, although I haven't tried them yet. Sound Forge 7.0 is comparable to Adobe Photoshop - overpriced, but suited for professionals. I have tried this [free copy from a friend], and it is quite nice, but pricy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
