ok the first night my nut sack turned the damn thing on and i missed the encores. but 9-10 and 9-11 perfect line in is the way. ok how do i go from m-1 to cd easiest way?
a small suggestion... use the "HOLD" slide switch. it will be your best friend. engage it as soon as you get out of your car and heading towards the venue and disengage it only to start the recording and re-engage it during recording. the HOLD switch disables EVERY function of the M1 except for the level dial (which should be taped down as someone mentioned). once you've got your level set, tape it down and just put the deck away and try not to check levels too much.
as for going from DAT > cdr, the best way is to use a 7pin cable for a digital output (s/pdif) from your deck and > (either a sound card or a standalone cd recorder).
