I had called into the MDCP and read the interesting review for the Sony MDS-DRE1 in relation to its use by dance callers. The revoew had described how the DRE1 was able to work effectively with dance tunes for various calling styles. One of the usage techniques included the division of a song into three parts -- beginning, main aspect and end. This allowed the caller to start the song in to the main aspect, lock the unit on REPEAT amd SINGLE PLAY as she engaged in "patter calling". Then, when it was time to get the dancers off the tune, she released both modes and let the player roll on to the song's coda. Other features of interest included use of the REPEAT mode for background music during dinner and use of the DRE1's cueing assets to line up the song precisely. I would like to see some more interesting usage stories posted up on the MDCP about how people have used their MiniDisc equipment in situations which exemplify the format's assets; and any special assets that particular pieces of equipment had. For example, have any aerobics instructors and phys-ed teachers used MiniDisc to play the upbeat backing tracks for class participants to exercise to, and how have they benefited from the format in this application? With regards, Simon Mackay === MIME part removed : text/html; === ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
