Topic: Can anyone help me with a transfer?

[vansmack]

Can anyone out there help me with a transfer?  I have 4 sets recorded at the Kroq Almost acoustic christmas (linkin Park 60 min., Pennywise 30 min., distillers 30 min., and offspring 45 min.) I can send these minidiscs out with a postage paid return envelope and 4 blank cds. These shows sound great on my mini disc, but I can only hook up analog to my soundcard(thus losing quality).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks  --Bill

Not many people do digital MD transfers.

Not many people do digital MD transfers.

But some do, and they've helped out in the past.  Good luck, Vansmack...hopefully someone will chime in to help out.

Yeah, good luck man!  I was a little blunt in that post!  +T 's

Tracking may be a problem as well...
You'd have to find someone with a mini-disc athat knows the music by those groups to track them right.

[vansmack]

I can track them myself once i get them back on cdr.  Just one large wave file is fine with me.

Right on. I have a deck but no optical soundcard... well, no optical sound card installed

Im hoping that i can save enough money and get myself a digital transfer system setup for my MiniDisc's.  Im tired of this analog bullshit  =P

That or here's to hoping that the fat man just brings that shit to me on the 25th, but that'll be a fat chance!

If best buy carried a deck, i'd put that mofo on credit and i'd be good to go  =)

If you really want to go digital why not just buy a JB3 and save yourself the hassle of real time transfers and a deck thats hella expensive

[RJPass]

JB3 would be great, but doesnt the quality on that fucker sound somewhat similar to the quality of a windows media webcast at 300k?

no check the archives, it records same quality as dat
better have an outboard pre/a-d though

I can do transfers but it will take time.  i've got plenty of dat, minidv and mds mine (and other ppls for that matter).  er that and my base of ops is in canada - which may be a problem for you idunno.


er correct me if i am wrong, but isn't this the same show that you are releasing on stg? if so, why did you do it if it hasn't been xfered it digitally?

I run Sony MXD-D400 > Terratec EWX 2496.  Are you familiar with .shn's and the MKW ACT program?  If you are I will just conver the large .wav's to large .shn's and that way you can just copy to your HD and verify the .md5 so there is no DAE lineage.  You can then decode to .wav and insert trackings.  LMK if you need my help

[vansmack]

Alex has been kind enough to help me out on this. Thanks agin to everyone for all the helpful advice.

[zhianosatch]

rockin', enjoy your first tapes

FYI - if you are looking for a MD deck with optical outs, try the sony MXD-d400.  It's under $300 and you can get one from J&R in New York.
