Hi, I've just found this awesome site and I think this is what I've been looking for.

I'm helping my m-inlaw with her dancing classes by getting the music then putting onto mini disks for her. Yes I've just found out the mini disks are really out of fashion now but we'll leave that for another day.
My problem is, the songs have different volume levels so I'm constantly running to the machine and either turning up or turning down....what machine would sort that out. My last question for now is adds or deletes parts of a song.

Many thanks for your help
 
Your best bet would probably to buy some software in which you could do both, set the levels to the same aswell as editing them to how you want it.

You can hook up your minidisk player pretty easily to a computer, you'll just need to find some software that can do the job easily enough for you.

I'm no good with the free software that's about.. hopefully someone will pop on and give you some names and websites.

If your not bothered about shelling out a bit of cash, Cubase is a nice programme that would do the job for you.
Simple enough, you'd hook your MD player up to the computer and get each of the tracks off it. Import them into Cubase and edit them to how you want, and change the levels in the mixer. Then finally bounce it down as another track and then shove it back on your MD.

Like i say, hopefully someone can point out some free software you can try if you'd prefer not to shell out on Cubase.

Good luck,
 
Im not sure about importing and exporting between the computer and minidisk player, but Audacity would work fine for what you need to do in terms of manipulating the audio. It will allow you to normalize as well as chop it up however you see fit. And its free :)
