Topic: Sharp MiniDisc Question

[RJPass]

Hey guys, im new to the boards, and i'd like to say hello  =)

First off, my rig consists of:

Sharp MD-SR60 MiniDisc Recorder
Sound Professionals Premium Slimline Cardoid Mic's
Sound Professionals Mini Battery Box with Bass Roll Off

Ive taped various shows, and i think ive got it down pretty good.  Ive had excelent results, but theres 2 things i want to do and maybe you guys can help me out here.

I taped a Soulfly show earlier this year, and i ran out of juice during the set.  Obviously it didnt get a chance to record a TOC.  I wanted to know if anyone has done the TOC Trick on this Model number of MiniDisc so i can get at least some of this show.  IF you know how to do it, or can reffer me to someone that knows how to do it, and is in the Los Angeles area, it'd be nice  =)

Also, right now my sound transfers are done analog line out *ducks*....

I want digital.   What equipment do you recommend me to use to transfer my stuff quickly (May not be possible) but digitally?

Thanks a lot in advance guys, i appreciate it  =)

You need to get a MD home deck with digital (optical) outs.  I recommend a Sharp model because you have a Sharp portable.  However, these will still be real-time transfers.

Then that would also mean that i need to get a sound card or another device that will accept the optical line going out of the minidisc deck right?

I dont have one of them  =\

Yeah been there done that bro.  Ive spent prolly about $500 on the rig i just told you right now.  Im planning on prolly spending another $400 to get what i really want.  Add that all up and i probably should have gotten a DAT  =P

[zhianosatch]

I know precisely how much you spent, big guy.
Just wait till you feel the need to upgrade.

[zhianosatch]

THEN you'll be screwed... like aspire to be some day...

[Sean Gallemore]

where's my stealthable HD recorder!

[RJPass]

Soooooooo.  now that ive determined the Digital transfer issue.....

can anyone shine a light on me with the TOC Issue?

I want this show  =\

[Sean Gallemore]

wish I could, I don't know anything about that

[Simp-Dawg]

check minidisco.org, i think they will probably have your answer for the toc thing

[firmdragon]

yep. i've done the TOC trick many a times, but not on that model #.  you're probably in luck and that you got everything before the batteries clunked out. just make sure you don't touch that md before you try and recover it.

[RJPass]

Can you give me somewhat of a clue as to what i need to do?  I'd rather hear it from someone that has had personal experience with this issue.

Where do you live?  lol  Do this for me please  =)
