RE: MD: Looking for the right MD Deck.
The difference is the quality of the sound components, the number of inputs and outputs, and whether it is analog or digital (among many other things). If you want a small portable mixer, check soundprofessionals.com. They have several listed and they are on the low end of the price range. -- Martin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of brent harding What's the difference between these? I mean the 100 dollar ones and the more expensive kind? You would need a mixer for that. Depending on the quality you want, you could spend from $100 to thousands. -- Martin - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: Looking for the right MD Deck.
No, they absolutely will not all produce the same quality of sound. Just as a $50 receiver will not produce the same quality of sound as a $300 receiver. However, for the purpose of mixing analog sound sources to record in a portable Minidisc player, it may not make a great deal of difference. If you are recording with a microphone, then it could make a profound difference. Most mixers are powered by A/C using either a wall wart, or straight plug in. There are a few battery powered ones though, but I have not tried them. Sound Professionals has a Samson with 4 inputs that can be powered by batteries or an adapter. -- Martin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of brent harding Will they all produce almost the same quality of sound?

That way I can record from all the sources I need without unhooking or having some tracks weaker than others, wouldn't really want some tracks really loud and some quiet, so I'd need the other inputs so I'd never have to unhook sources.

RE: MD: Looking for the right MD Deck.
Don't you end up with the same volume at the end? I mean, I thought the more you hook up the less the volume becomes, so that you end up with some extremely loud and some extremely soft stuff when left at one volume level.

My sound card is built into the mother board, so I have no choice, really, but to use it, no digital outs either. Don't think you can easily buy converters. Also, i want to be certain that whatever I put into the md player will always record, because some CD's I've used to put mp3s on my computer anyway, so they would likely be considered first generation by now, but I have deleted some, but the cd doesn't know that for the scms thing. t 12:15 PM 12/3/99 -0600, you wrote: On Fri, Dec 03, 1999 at 10:35:25AM -0500, Jerry Jelinek wrote: brent harding [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Any decks with multiple analog inputs?...
