 Wouldn't SCMS forbid this?
 
Not for an original (or analog) recording.

RE: MD: Pre- rec MDs

1999-07-14 Thread Simon Barnes


 Luca Somazzi asked:
 
 Are pre-recorded MDs different from recordable ones?
 
Yes, they are embossed like a CD rather than magneto-optically
recorded, so they cannot be recorded over.

 I mean, would it be possible to record over a pre-rec?
 
I've never seen one, but the case may have a different hole pattern
to recordable blanks, and the disc itself is marked with a code to indicate
it is pre-rec.

Your best bet, is to get a recording deck.  You will gain editing
capability that you don't have with the portable. You willalso be able
to use the optical out to record digitally from the deck to you 722 and
get a near perfect copy.  

Look into the units that have variable pitch and variable tempo, like
the Sony 920 deck, or maybe the Sharp unit that has a three CD changer. 
I am not very familiar with that one, but I was told it had variable
pitch control.

 Ok, I'm hooked.  I find myself using my Sharp 722 recorder all the time for
 recording music sessions.  However, when I go out to record, I always start
 with a blank disk (because I don't know in advance how much music I'm going
 to record).  Typically, I only wind up with 20-30 minutes of stuff I want
 to keep.  I would like to be able to dump that material to another
 minidisk.  So here's my question:
 
 What are your recommendations for the best CHEAP player only for the
 purposes of transferring from one MD to another?
 
 Thanks in advance.

MD: Long Play mode for MD's using Pitch Control?

1999-07-14 Thread Gary Sargent


Anyone any idea if it would be possible to use the
Pitch Control (on a machine like the JB920) to
store more data on an MD (like the long play mode
featured on videos)??

Could you play at say 2x speed on the JB920, record
it to another MD using a different recorder (so this
should take up half the space), then play it back
on the JB920 at half speed using the pitch control.

Don't know what kind of impact this would have on
the quality.

Anyone like to try this??

Gary.

 Luca, Luca, Luca ...
 I'm surprised - such a newbie Q from you ?  :)

Well actually I AM a newbie... I've entered the MD scene buying my R55 just
3 months ago! :-)

 Of course you can't write on a pre-rec.
 pre-rec are like CDs - they use an aluminum reflective layer with a signal
 pit pattern,  while recordables are MO.

I imagined something like this, but, hey... you never know. :-)

Re: MD: Terratec DMX Price

1999-07-14 Thread Alexander Dietrich


Hello,

I talked with the swedish distibutor of Terratec soundcards.
He wanted 1900SEK for it.
The currency converter at www.forex.se says that
1900SEK is ~140GBP, ~420DEM, ~217USD.

It seems expencive doesn't it?

Yes, very. It's going for 279 DEM in Germany (at Media Markt),
But I haven't bought it yet and never might, if all those driver
troubles aren't sorted out.

Simon was explaining to Luca,

Yes, the case is different as well, missing the second hole next to the
write-protect sensing hole on the bottom of the case (neither hole is present
in a prerec), letting the player know to adjust laser power for a prerec.

Additionally there are codes on the disc, but the unit has to adjust for
reading a prerec in order to read those codes.
