MD question

[SkaGuitarOAR]

Ok, so I have a mini disk player, is that what I need to record onto a mini disk?  I still need a mic and several other things, any help with setting this up would be great.

You need a mini disc recorder to record onto mini disc.  A quick check on your MD manufacturer's website should tell you whether your MD has record capability.

They don't have my mini disk player on their site anymore, mines a Sony MD player.  But I will keep looking around then.

Alright thanks alot.  I think I found everything I need, but I will keep that list on hadn deffinately.

I figured out that I have an MZ-EH1 Sony MD player.  So if that will help I still need to know if that can record.

I think I've pretty much figured out that I am gonna need to buy completely new equipment.  *sigh*  More money to save up.

google.com works wonders

Ya I'm searching like crazy for equipment in my price range and that is good.  Which is becoming a near impossible task.

However, I will be upgrading to a JB3 this winter (unless anything similar comes out) and they are similarly priced used.  If ya gotta start over with equip., maybe go that route.

What's your price range? I worked with a ~$600 rig for about ... 4 years...

[SkaGuitarOAR]

I'm thinkin like under 200 haha.  which i know sounds bad, but I think I can make it work.  Cause a JB3 would only be like 120 on ebay..then all I would need is mic+power so ya.

[taperkat]

You can get a decent MD deck for $200. Conversely, you can get a decent pair of mics+power for $200. Expecting to get a decent rig for $200, you'd have to have the luck fairy on your side.
