Re:MD sucks (Score 1)

I work in live theatre, and I have to say that I found MD to be a fabulous format when running through soundtraks for a show during dress rehearsals. True, the sound quality may not be as high. What made MDs rock was that you could record every possible option for a particular sound effect, and with the appropriate player you could rearrange the order over and over and delete unnecessary tracks on the spot. No more having a sound designer take copious notes so they could fix things and bring a newly burned CD in for the next rehearsal. A few shows I've worked on went through dozens of versions (on CD-ROMs) before reaching a finalized version. What a waste of time and resources. Unfortunately, as discussed in other posts, the players are expensive and I believe this has kept more theatres from using this format.
