RE: MD: Pioneer in-car MD changer...

1999-09-12 Thread Simon Mackay


==BEGIN QUOTE==
I've just installed my new Pioneer P100 changer into my car, connected to my
MEH P5000R MD head unit and CDX P5000 CD changer, and I've noticed that when
changing MD's ,the current MD continues to play at reduced volume whilst the
next disc is selected, and continues to play until either the next disc is
playing or the 10 second shock memory is exhausted, rather than cutting off
the sound instantaneously, like the CD changer does when changing discs.
Anybody else notice this?  Is this normal for MD changer operation?
==END QUOTE=
Continuing to play out the buffer in a MiniDisc changer may be normal
behaviour so it appears that the music is continuing while the discs are
changed. The unit would be reading ahead while playing out what is in the
buffer. You would be used to the silent gap that you notice when your CD
changer switches discs, but due to the anti-shock buffer, the MiniDisc units
can  read ahead and keep the music going. If I were you, I would try out the
"shuffle play" mode and see if the effect is still there with the MiniDisc
changer. This could lead to a GOOD THING! Radio-style "back-to-back" shuffle
play of multiple home-brew compilation MiniDiscs with this car stacker, if
you edit the recordings tightly.

With regards,

Simon Mackay

Re: MD: Art Bell MiniDisc use on the air

There is an option on the 920, at least there was one one my 520, the
will automatically put in the 2 seconds you mentioned.  I had it turned
on and it coused problems with the way I use the machine. So, I went
into the setup menu and turned it off. Now there is no gap at all
between selections unless you record 2 seconds of silence.

 Hello everyone, I'm webmaster for the Art Bell web page. (www.artbell.com)
 I've been on this list for about 2 weeks, after I myself purchased a Sony
 JB920 Deck and have a RZ-MD50 portable on the way. I thought I'd finally chime
 in, since I could contribute to the initial message about Art Bell.
 
 Art uses his Sony MD unit to prerecord and then playback his commercial spots.
 At each break, he simply sets up the "programmed play" feature to select the
 spots needed for that half hour. He has all of the commmercial spots needed
 recorded on one minidisc.
 
 Here's one problem that maybe those on the list could help us with. When
 playing back a "programmed play list" there seems to be a 2 second or so delay
 between plays of the tracks. This has caused uncounted number of flub-ups of
 Art jumping in between the playback of spots, thinking the playback is over.
 Is there a way to keep each of the tracks, tight up against each other, so
 that when the unit is seeking to
 the next track for playback, there is NO silence gap?
 
 My guess would be to EDIT the ORDER of the tracks, so it's a continuous
 playback, but the order keeps changing each hour and it's easier at this point
 to program which one's he needs for each segment.
 
 As for the "tunes" he's been playing, he's been recording those Digital Audio
 channels off of his 4DTV Satellite Receiver, then dubbing the ones he likes
 onto the MiniDisc. They are not MP3 files, but simply recording off satellite.
 
 Most bumper music is played directly from CD, but some of the newer tunes he
 has been playing recently, and asking people what title and artist of the song
 is, have been played directly from the minidisc.

MD: In car changer, shuffle mode

1999-09-12 Thread Timothy P. Stockman


I've got a Sony MDX-65.  It starts the disc change while
the end of the current track is playing so that there is no
pause in the audio.  And at normal level...

I'll be installing a 3-unit Unilink switcher and 2 more MDX-65s
shortly, so I can let you know about the multi-changer shuffle
mode, if there is any interest.

RE: MD: Copy-Proof CDs (Long)

1999-09-12 Thread Rick Pali


From: John Chrapowicki

 Bottom line; why do I want to buy a disc that won't play
 on my PC, that won't play on my hi-fi system, that I can't
 transfer to listen to on my portable minidisc player?
 Actually, I don't think I have anything that one of these
 discs will play on. The answer is a no-brainer:

 NO SALE.

While I agree 100%, I certainly will buy a number of them...just so I can
return them. *I* know they won't play, but I'll still go through the
exercise to make a point. :-)

Rick.

 Mikey

While it's true that Sound Professionals provide a decent mic for the money,
I believe the mic you're referring to is an AT853 based capsule from
Audiotechnica. And I personally wouldn't want to use the 853 for anything
crucial. The AT922 setup they offeer is a much better deal since it's a much
better performer. He can also make use of more capsule options, including
shotgun capsules. I'm going to buy a set for the shotgun capability (only
the shotguns, I've got a much better solution for regular situations).
However, what I use to record shows on my DAT is probably the best of the
binaurals for the money, I use Oade binaurals which are based on a panasonic
capsule and very carefully hand built by the Oade Bros., who've  been taping
live shows for two decades. You can see them at
http://www.oade.com/dat/microphones/micro.html and if you've got questions
specific to your situation, you can send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (one of
the Principles in the company). Jim's a very honest and approachable guy and
will give you very good answers very specifically tailored to your exact
circumstances.
Peace,
Tom
