Re: Minidisc fun
thanks for your explanation. Do you get the benefits of the mixing the sound engineer is doing? lily on 6/5/04 2:02 PM, Kristin Dewey at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: An iMic connects the minidisc recorder to the computer via a USB plug. Yes. And it sounds better than just connecting the recorder to the computer through the line in sound jack, if you have one. Yes. When I said Soundboard Minidisc, I was referring to plugging my minidisc recorder directly into the P.A. system that the sound engineer is mixing the music through at a live music venue. It's the actual console the soundman uses. I plug my minidisc into back of the soundboard and record whatever's going through the microphones on stage. That's a soundboard recording. For an audience recording, or just recording someone playing in your living room, you'd just record with a microphone to your minidisc, then transfer that analog recording to your Mac with an iMic...

minidisc
This should work. http://www.minidisc-canada.com/shopexd.asp?id=130 http://www.xitel.com/ This is from Xitel's site: My HiFi-Link doesn't seem to work under OSX, but works fine under OS9: Problem: After installing the HiFi-Link it doesn't seem to work under OSX. Fix: Sorry guys, the manual was written before OSX was released. The HiFi-Link works under OSX using the generic USB audio drivers. All you need to do is plug it directly into a USB port on your system and it will automatically load the drivers. You'll then need to select it as the preferred output device, since OSX doesn't change to a new device now with the system preferences control panel. To do this go to: SYSTEM PREFERENCES - HARDWARE SECTION: SOUND ICON - OUTPUT - select USB audio. This should now set your system so that audio flows out the HiFi-Link. _ Larry Zasitko 306-522-3453 Tel 190 Sangster Blvd., Regina, SK., Canada 306-791-0432 Fax S4R 7G9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
