This is how I'd do it. A easier choice for musicians maybe to feed
the MD to a CDR standalone recorder. But if you're concerned about
perfection, you'd better:
- have a MD deck with digital out. They're almost cheaper than
portables...
- have a soundcard with digital in.
- Use a wave editor to transfer the MD contents to sound files,
recording digitally.
- Enhance it, by using normalization, and maybe some expansion or
compression, or even denoising, although the best way is always to have
good recorded material.
- Toast it.
If the MD deck has a control bus (eg. S-link) and you're going to
that on a regular basis, it could be worth to implement some automation,
in order to record to different files, and maybe generate CD-Text entries
using the MD title and track labels.
If you're interested on this, and do Linux, check
jukebox-control.sourceforge.net, as almost all the process mentioned
previously could be automated easily with some scripting with the aid of
tools like brec, sox, cdrdao etc... and the perl S-Link library
functionality that is being implemented.
That's all!
