Mini-Disc (Was Re: Visu-Lite Cymbal Confusion)

2003-12-07 by Jay

Yeah, but the mini disc is so quick and easy. Recording to the Mac
direct is great, but it's just easier to record to the mini disc and
if someone else wants to take the night's jam home they can. We all
have MiniDiscs, and sometimes we share the "rip" duty.
