Chuck, you wrote this on list, therefore, I'm gonna keep it on list. With
all due respect, I didn't ask if it was worth the time. I have certain
reasons why I need to be able to use these recorders. I can't really go into
much on nor off list due to company confidentiality, but regardless if they
are worth time, I need it for a part time job which I'm now involved with. I
didn't say I necessarily agree with the client's opinion, but this is the
media they want their final mix on, so if I want the money, then I find a way
to get it done, end of story. Plus, if someone was nice enough to donate
this unit to me at no cost at all, then don't you think it's fair that I at
least give a reasonable try to get it working, rather than just putting it in
a drawer and never using it? That would be extremely rude!

Hi

I'll make this short.
Its not worth the time because the quality is not there!
We use to use them for live shows back in the day! but the technology has
gone by the way side.
Contact me off list if you want the full story.

Gene,
Thanks for the reply, but I think you misunderstood my question.
I'm not trying to transfer minidisks to! my mac. I'm trying to go the
other way. I'm trying to go from the mac to! minidisk. Might I add, that
I'm totally familiar with monitorring levels and patching things via line
in and such. I'm a professional audio producer for a living/engineer, so
I work with very high end studio gear every day like a 64 channel board,
ProTools, several different hardware pres, etc. Anyway, the problem is
more in I want to be able to locate mp3's on my system, then via USB
quickly in offline renderization, transfer/bounce them down to minidisk
digitally over USB. Apparently, there used to be software to do this task,
but I couldn't find it anywhere online.
The problem is, I could transfer with a stereo patch cable, but that would
only be an annalog signal, not digital, whereas USB would be a direct
transfer. OK, if it was an mp3, then obviously some mp3 loss artifacts
will be applied, but that's just the nature of the beast, seeing mp3's are
already compressed, but the point is, I'd still like to be able to get my
library transferred over to mini disk media digitally with this unit.
You're probably asking, why not just put it on your IPhone? I have, and
there is absolutely no objection to me doing that. I just like having the
stuff on minidisk kind a for the old school novelty of it. It's more
just, I do it, why? Because I can. LOL!
The other thing though is deleting tracks individually off of the disks
when I'm ready to reuse them. Seeing I can't see the menus on the device
itself, it makes it tough. This is why I was hoping if not to find
something like Sonic Stage, or OpenMG Jukebox, I could find something else
for the mac that would at least be accessible with Voiceover enough to the
point I could erase certain tracks off the disks. If I can't transfer via
USB, then OK, fine, I can live with that. I'll just use line in. It
won't be ideal, but it'll still work, at the end of the day. What I
can't! however deal with is not being able to erase things off the media.
That's a bit of a dealbreaker.
Anyway, hope this makes more sense, and explains more why I'm really
seeking some software, even if 3rd party, that would be mac cimpatible and
at least accessible enough to accomplish this.
I should add for the more techies on here, this unit does use NetMB so,
that makes it a little harder.

Subject: mini disk
Hi Chris:
The mini-disk machines sure do have a nice clean signal compared with some
of the inexpensive digital recorders. If you want to use it as a recorder
and can not figure out how to either use it as an external drive or
transfer the files via USB to your computer, I would upload in real time
by patching from the audio output of the recorder into either an external
sound card or directly into the audio input of your computer and do all of
the editing on the computer with your audio editor of choice. You will
have to monitor your levels throughout the upload process to make sure
nothing goes to hot. I had to do this when I digitized my mini-disk
arkives several years ago and it is time-consuming.
