you need a wire from the output on your minidisc player connecting to the input on your soundcard. A jack to jack wire will most probably suffice. The default settings on soundforge are already set to do what you require it to do so all you need to do is hit record. Play with the line in recording volume tho in control panel. When the 2 bars are just starting to clip the red, thats the volume u need.

ok with the default setting on soundforge i recorded something to see how it sounds...but it gives me the idea the quality isnt the same...and for sure the volume originally on the minidisk is higher from the volume on the recorded file from sforge..what do i do?
i didnt get the point,what u mean to do in the control panel? u mean the 2 bars when playing the recorded file?? do i have to put on the higher point the volume from the icon down to the right? (i already have it high from the md)

(thnc 4 ur time btw mike! )

Control Panel -> Sounds And Multimedia -> Audio Tab -> Where it says Sound Recording click Volume.

Then you get the chance to change the volumes for CD Player, Line In and Microphone.. On the Line In one, you can increase the recording volume.

And yes, by the 2 bars I mean those 2 bars that are on soundforge when the file is being recorded. Those bars indicate the sound levels. If you press record, they will start fluctuating up and down. If they go really far into the red it means your recording will be distorted. So this is where the control panel comes into it, so you can increase and decrease the recording volume.

If u still dont understand i'll take a screenshot for ya :P

Everything you ever wanted to know about bootlegging:

Minidisc are lossy and I really prefer DAT's to them...but...uh...probably doesn't sound too hot anyway if you used your headphones as a mic... Even to record your own sets, you should use a computer or DAT recorder.

DAT recorders are the size of cassette players, and record higher quality than CDs

just like a mini disc... you only get as good quality as your recording... a friend of mine used his md to record a concert and he said that the mic was so good that the recording sounded better then the concert itself... so go figure

but arnt dat recorders more obscure and hard to find??? and i dont think too many ppl carry there dats around to listen to em...

DAT recorders/players can be very expensive, but they're definitely not hard to find. The portable ones are more expensive than portable MDs though.

And no. Most people don't carry DATs around to listen to them. But once you have a concert on your high quality DAT, it's easy to get it into mp3, shn, or onto CD...something easy to listen to. If you use a Minidisc, which can have audible artifacts, you're making crappy digital copies.
