I got a high ticket consumer level MD Portable Recorder and i just made a mix on it...how do i take that and turn it to a CD.

I know i can do it through a line out, but how do i preserve the tracks marks?...i also got a thing to do MP3 to MD...does that work in reverse maybe?

well any suggestions would be great

Minidisc is a good and simple way of recording digital audio, yet smaller then most DAT recorders and Tape machines, still giving an acaptable sound. The big problem with Minidisc is the audio dynamics. Since Minidisc uses a socalled ATRAC compression, it is less good then CD, DAT or PCM disk recording but better then most low and mid end tape decks. Best thing to do is to record your Minidisc at -2dB on its meter, because clipping gives a horrible downsized peak sound. Then export to your PC via a digital cable, or at least a well shielded one. Use a wave program that records in 44.1Khz at 16 bit, when the sound is imported listen to it, see if it is what you like, if not re record. Then normalize it up to 0dB and save as 44.1Khz at 16 Bit wav, and then use a burn-program to burn it to CD. Its best to record at 1 speed, for optimal playback

bad news chrisp-o , track marks are only preserved when data is transfered via an optical cable , so unles you have an optical cable you are going to have to record the whole mix then use cd archictect to add the track marks

Thanks alot guys, I suppose ill buy a MD player recorder and rack-mount it. Ill just use my MD recorder for recording gigs and for taking quotes (i'm a jounralism student). I really do apressiate the knowledge.
