Whats up addicts?...I am looking into recording my mixes to my cpu and then breaking the tracks up individually for burning to cd.
My current setup is:
-(2) Technics 1200mkII turntables
-Vestax 06Pro-A Mixer
-Sony Mini-Diskman w/ record feature
-Technics 100watt reciever (to out to speakers)
What cpu programs would i need to record the mix from my Minidisk (or from my mixer/amp) to the computer and break the tracks up to transfer to CD ????? And also if any1 has this kind of setup, what tips or tricks do u have or recommend. Any help appreciated.

yeah.. source forge does it all. All you need besides that is some way to connect your setup to your sound card.
However, how fast of a computer do you have? If you don't have a pretty massive one w/ lot's of memory & hard drive space you are gonna run into some trouble.

you cant record mixes to your cpu
maybe recording to your hard drive might make it easier

I'm not sure what minidisc player you have but I know the new sony minidisc players have a usb connection with software that enable you to transfer the set to your pc. Another option is to record from the out on the mixer to the input on your sound card. For recording I use roxio ez cd creator which has an option to record as mp3 for smaller files. I've already recommended cd architect for indexing the set

WRONG
I want to clear this myth up. the newer sony MDs do NOT have this feature, although the advertising and hype makes it sound like they do. You cannot transfer analog recordings (like out of your mixer) back onto your computer! the only way to do it is to play the track off the MD, and record it analog through the headphone output into your soundcard.
meaning, you go analog --> digital ATRAC --> analog --> Digital Wav --> Digital MP3 to get your file.
it still sounds alright, but it's less than optimal.
yeah man just go soundforge... i have soundforge 6... great program go from one of your master outs (or rec inputs if you have them) to your line in on your soundcard, and thats it, your set, rip it up!.

For optimal quality record at 24 bit 96 khz using either cool edit pro or soundforge on a semi pro card like an audigy 2 with it's pretty sweet 106db snr (that means it sounds cleaner).
if you get a lot of clicks and pops or hiss you can also do post cleanup with CEP and select a section with mostly hiss and have the program remove those frequencies from the entire waveform.
before you burn it to cd run a hard limiter on it to if you find the recording is too quiet.
