Not sure if your unit has the disc burning ability and I'm a bit too tired to research it at the moment, but my Fostex 8 track didn't. I had to hook it up to my computer via USB and send the individual tracks once they were finalized. Then I burnt them to disc via my computer. If your unit doesn't have cd burning built in then I'd suppose you'd have to do the same thing.

You could add a zip drive to a computer and then you would be able to read the disc on your computer if the finalized file was a recognized format like .wav.

There are also two types of output based on the specs supplied at the Boss website RCA stereo and digital optical so you would probably need some type of interface connection. I assume but don't really know that the optical is probably s/pdif but this type of card if you have a desktop computer will do either for about $90.00

You would also need an optical cord or RCA stereo cord if the Boss did not come with one.

ok so what did u use guitarfreak to hook the recorder up to the computer?

i have a 10' chord with a usb on one end and a 1/4" male on the other end...
would that work?

And how will the analog stereo signal pass through a mono cord and become digital at the USB port? Maybe there is something here I am missing but this plan is dubious at best.

It's a cheap AD converter cable. I am doubtful.

Guitarfreak's machine had built in a USB port. You have a built in Zip disk slot.

Yes, indeed I used a USB cord, but not your typical. I think it was usb a at one end and usb b at the other. Something to the effect. One was more or less square, and the other was the familiar rectangle shape.

Actually, that IS the normal USB cord.

ok so what kind of cable would i need to upload my song from the disk to the computer?

That is the issue I covered in my first response your computer will NOT interface directly with the Boss unless the computer has an equivilant optic input, so it is not just a simple matter of a cable. Sorry I know that isn't what you want to hear but it is the fact. Reread my other post re:zip or Emu!

ok so what if i hooked line (red&white) cables to the recorder...then hooked the end up to a sony cd burner

would the cd burner/copier copy the recorders music onto a cd?

If the cd burner accepts rca cables (the red and white outputs) then yes that will work. Link me to the cd burner and I can tell you for sure.

ok heres the link

http://pro-audio.mu… mine is very similar to this one...it has 2 decks, rca inputs...the works
