Microboards has announced that they've started shipping a new version of its CopyWriter Live. The company has added a new feature which allows users to burn two identical discs from the same audio input.

Microboards has begun shipping its CopyWriter Live with the ability to record live CD Audio to discs to two recorders at the same time. The new feature allows users to have two copies of an event immediately after recording it. Ideal for environments producing many discs live, users can initiate copying in more than one duplication system using the two masters, or use one for immediate playback or review.

CopyWriter Live has led the event-recording market for years because of its unique spanning feature - automatically initiating the recording process to a second recorder when the disc in the first becomes full. It also functions as a disc-to-disc copier, using one recorder as the master and the other as the target.

This new version of the CopyWriter Live is shipping now for a suggested retail price of $699. Full details can be found here. Add a comment
