I asked this awhile ago, but lost the data when I switched from AOL.... how can
I copy stuff from an MD to a CD? I would like to be able to record my studio
recitals (or perhaps even make an audition tape) using the MD and then make a CD
from it. In the past, I've just taken the MD to a studio, but that costs more
money than I'd like to spend.
Thanks.

I highly recommend using a mini disc (MD) recorder. Any brand of MD
recorder will record with CD-level accuracy--the weak link is the
microphone. I use a Sony ECM-MS907 microphone feeding a Sony MZ-R90 MD
recorder, which produces amazing sound quality. For the first time in my
life, I really know what my voice sounds like. And combined, they are so
small they will fit in my pocket.
I have found that recording my practice sessions gives me immediate
feedback about diction, tone quality, vowel production, breathing, etc.
which has substantially improved my progress as a singer. And when I am
preparing a song, I will sometimes record and listen phrase by phrase. Its
a great tool for a vocal student.
The mini discs themselves are expensive--about $2/each. But since you can
record on them many times, you only need a few unless you want an archive
of your progress.
