Track names, rearranging the track order, and flexible rewritability are some of the big advantages that MiniDisc brings to the table. The MD-301mkII brings together the power and flexibility of MiniDisc in an affordable package. Live Production - House of Worship MiniDisc has enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the live market. Since the name of the track is displayed when you pull up a cue, you can recall sound effects or music up and see the name of the cue before you play it for the audience. This offers more confidence than "track 67". In theaters that need to change their audio cues regularly for constantly changing shows, a standard PC keyboard can plug into the keyboard port on the front panel of the MD-301mkII to help you make quick work of any size project. Plus, the keyboard can act as a wired remote. Personal Studio - Project Studio MiniDisc players are gaining popularity among the music community. The media is quite accessible now, with hi-fi components, personal players, and even car players now available in every major retail chain. The MiniDisc format was a digital format intended to be a recordable media from the start, so it is a natural medium for taking reference mixes into other places for listening away from the studio. Show Control - Live Presentations The MD-301mkII provides fast response to transport commands and infrared control offering a wonderful solution for sound bytes, music cues, and other material in a show. Logging Devices - Routine Announcements If a recorder is needed for logging documented events, the extended 144 minute mono mode can provide a convenient, high quality solution. In public venues that require regular announcements such as airports or theme parks, the MiniDisc can be a prime source for extended play with high reliability.
