Solo Strike Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 There's got to be some sort of EKTer who'd be prepared to take on that challenge. Surely there's got to be someone you know with a Minidisc player who can transfer to WAV? It doesn't sound like it would be very hard to do.

Joyrex Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The key here is trust... since I can't copy the MD before I send it out. I've been contacted though by some old friends, so I think I might have a solution.

Joyrex Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 The issue here is having a Optical Digital IN on a computer - my iMac only has DO OUT, so it's not possible. The goal is to have a perfect digital copy of the MD to work from so whomever I get to remaster and clean up the tracks will have the best source possible to work with.

Guest CATS Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 assuming the MD can be transferred in losslessly via USB, why not ship the MD player to rex instead? one certainly can be replaced if it gets lost in the postal. then again at 200$ i suppose i wouldnt blame you for not shipping it, if you actually still use that archaic metal box.

Joyrex Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I wouldn't expect ieafs to risk his much more expensive MD via international mail. That's just silly. That being said, I do worry about losing the MD, but probably much less chance of that being lost. The whole reason for the pure digital conversion was to get the best quality copy possible to give whomever remasters it the best working version possible. Considering however that the source was originally a cassette tape, and it almost certainly was transferred to MD via an analogue means, does it matter (other than creating a 2nd generation copy) if it's transferred non-digitally from MD? would a 3rd gen really be that much worse from a restoration point of view?
