Hey, Simon! How's life on a very small island far, far away?

I thought those were the "stereo" inputs, but it is possible you can
only mix them in for recording purposes and not monitor them otherwise
(though that would seem a little odd). I've still got my manual, so
I'll check as soon as I can find it ;->

Subject: [mtmd] 2 tracks in, how to get stereo out?

Hi all

I used to be quite active on the group, but I've been
lurking for a while (years in fact!)

I use my MD8 mainly as a mixer for live work in church
these days. It has the added bonus of playing back
pre-recorded music when needed.

There are two RCA inputs at the back labelled '2 TR
in', which I have tried (unsuccessfully) to use to
channel a CD player's output (R+L stereo) into the
main mix - as background music or sometimes as a kind
karaoke sing-along when I don't have time to
pre-record the tracks onto disk.

However I can't get any sound out! I've tried playing
with the 'stereo' and 'monitor' buttons, to no avail.

has anyone used this input successfully?

I don't want to have to use up two input channels for
the CD R+L, I would rather utilise the 2TRin input.

Blessings,

Simon

Hello Everyone,

I have a Sony MDM-X4 and I'm having trouble with being able to
control each individual channel. I can set the levels during the
recording process, but once the track has been recorded I can't
control the volume with the fader. Is there a button or a switch that
I need to press to get control back to the fader? Please help!!

Thanks, Left

Hi!  I use an MDM X4 (yep, still do) in conjunction with PC
MIDI/Audio...primarily as a mixer, but I normally do some track
recording, mixdown and finalization to the minidisk.

I have not seen the fader problem you mention.  But can offer a few
suggstions/things to check:

1. Check your track monitor levels and track monitor on/off switches
on the right hand side of the board control panel....if your track
monitor levels are cranked up, you might not notice the impact of
track fader changes.
2. Are you monitoring  stereo out or monitor out?  Might be an output
difference...I dont have the unit in front of me at the moment to
check, however
3. I have had some problems with a controller not working on the unit
from time to time...usually when it has sat idle for a while.  I've
resolved this by turning it on and leaving it on for 24 hours or so.
If you can see the levels rise and and fall for each track during
playback, its not a fader problem and is likely 1. or 2.

Hope this helps....long live the X4!

Hey all...I'm ready to upgrade my little recording studio.  My MD 8 is
still working perfectly but its time for something with a digital out
to run to my Masterlink.  If you could manage to pick it up here in
Illinois, I could prove that it works as good as new and show you
everything I have learned like how to bounce, punch in, etc.  I'd take
$500 which will include 20 MDs.  Still have the owner's manual too.
If you're interested, email me at warnkdy@...   later, wpk

Thanks, I`ll give it a go synching it up, then I`ll post here with
the results!
Thanks again,
Nathan

Leah, all are welcome to our merry band of MD die-hards.

Did you try searching the archives of this group? I don't think there
are that many *active* members these days who might answer your
question, but issues like yours have certainly come up in the past.

Good luck.

Subject: [mtmd] MD4 in distress...

Hello guys i have just found you while googling for help for my
husband. He has been using his Yamaha MD4 since he bought it for a
huge amount of money nearly fifteen years ago. Today he was sat
recording and the stop/write TOC button went. It wouldnt stop or write
or anything and he lost his work. Do any of you know how to fix this
kind of thing? what do you do if the button goes? It randomly started
working again so he hasnt totally despaired but if it goes again i'm
going to have a very miserable man on my hands.

He is a home recording devotee and even though he knows his MD4 is old
and outdated he'd be lost without it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry for blunderiung into
your group in a panic! :D

Hi all, ok, basically, I have bought s/h a Tascam 564 4 track
minidisc that I want to use for backing tracks when playing live. I
assemble the tracks in my pc, but want to record them onto the four
tracks of the Tascam simultaneously, to keep them in sync..( The
Tascam has enough inputs on the mixer section to do this, as well as
MIDI In/Out/Thru sockets.)
Now, the question:
Do I need a multiple output soundcard for this, and assign each track
in my sequencer to a different output?

OR

Should I just connect the PC to the Tascam using a USB/MIDI
connector? (Which I don`t have yet, hence the query, on what`s the
best, and hopefully inexpensive way to do this!)

If a multiple output card is needed would it have to be a dedicated 4
output (at least) pro-audio style card/interface, or would I get the
same results by using a simple 5:1 surround sound card and again,
assigning the tracks to different outputs?

Like I said, apart from the Tascam Minidisc recorder, I don`t have a
MIDI/PC interface, and my soundcard is a basic 2 output jobby.

Anyone that can help i`ll be very grateful!

Anyone have this problem and find a remedy? I'll sometimes hear a loud
pop on a track on playback. I can isolate the track, but I can't fix
it. Even when recorded properly, this seems to happen to tracks
randomly from time to time. Is it dirt on the disk? Is it a data loss
due to exposure to heat or cold or something? It's maddening. Please
help!
