RE: MD: SCMS question
Newbie question: If I make a field recording using an analog microphone, may I may a duplicate of that MD digitally? That is, play the MD in a player and link digitally to a recorder. Yes, you can do that no problem at all. What you *cant* do is then make a digital copy of that copy. If your original recording is on disc "A" you can digitally copy it to another disk, "B". You can't make a digital copy of "B" onto another disk "C" although you can using analogue. You could make a digital copy from "A" to "C". I believe this is only true for copyrighted material, ie. digital source that has copyright flag set to true (like commercial CD's). In that case, copy-of-original is OK, copy-of-copy is forbidden. I own my MD for two weeks, so I haven't tried this yet, but I'd expect you could make as many digital copies as you wished from your own recordings, since the copyright flag would not be set. Correct me if I'm wrong. ...//.. . filip hajny // [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... ... http://swnet.cz ... //. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: MZ-R50 or Sharp 821
Actually somebody about a month or so back posted about the new replacement remotes for the sony portables, and found that the new ones WILL backlight on the R50. I don't know if this is true, or just a typo, but found it interesting. From what I remember there was no mention of the R50 in the list of units the remote was designed for, but it worked like a charm anyway. If anybody else has tried this, I'd be interested to find out if it's really true. I don't mind spending a few bucks for a new remote with a light in it :-) -Jeffrey -- My reality check just bounced!

MD: Titling MDs
Here's a light-hearted topic that I've been curious about: how do you title your MDs? Basically, I've found that there are 3 kinds of titles: + Disc + Track A (track on a one-artist album); or + Track B (track on a various artist album) I've noticed that different recording labels use different methods on their prerecorded MDs. (The worst I've seen is SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. All its titles are in the following format: "SONG / PERFORMED BY ARTIST") Here are the formats I use (inspired by Sony recordings): + Disc: "DISCTITLE / Artist(s) 1999; CD-d" (The last part contains the year of release; source; and method of dubbing [dig. or analog]. Also, notice there are 2 spaces on either side of the slash in the disc title.) + Track A: "SONG" + Track B: "SONG / Artist(s)" I think this method is the best I've heard of. Any others?

RE: MD: Sharp 831 : what's your recording level???
When recording digitally, you usually leave it alone given that you are copying it bit for bit, more or less. Unless you feel the CD's level is quieter than the usual levels you experience from other CD's, it's not something you would need to be concerned about.

Re: MD: Midiman C03
Shawn followed up | So, yes you can turn the stripping off so that it will pass an | SCMS-unlimited signal. I tested this, and it works with my unit. So if a source is SCMS-unlimited and the CO3 is set to pass-through, the recording will be SCMS-unlimited. As I understood your first post, I thought you were saying that it was impossible to get an SCMS-unlimited signal out of the CO3 even from SCMS-unlimited input. I have a Prospec MSP730, which doesn't do format conversion, but its two SCMS settings are pass-through and unlimited, and both work properly. It's discontinued, so I'm glad I got one while they were still available. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: MD: optical cords!
Haven't ever seen the cables you're talking about, but beyond being able to transmit a signal successfully, there's no real difference between optical (or coax) cable A and cable B - if it gets the signal from the source to the destination without introducing error (and I've yet to see a commercial cable that couldn't), it's good enough. Anything above and beyond that, IN TERMS OF SIGNAL QUALITY, is wasted money. I've seen a documented experiment where a guy took a rusty coat hanger with RCA plugs alligator-clipped to each end and used it as the digital audio link between his DVD and his preprocessor - worked like a champ (his preprocessor showed 0% error rate on the connection). Having said that, it's nice to get an optical cable with a sturdy jacket, to help prolong it's life crammed in with 50 other cables behind your hi-fi. Not necessary, but nice.

RE: MD: optical cords!
But in this case, I believe he was referring strictly to an optical S/PDIF connection, and in which case, there are no differences, audibly speaking. Bits are still bits from start to finish and the only thing that can come of a cheaper cable is perhaps a shorter lifespan or even less resilience to fracturing of the actual glass fibres. I've been using el-cheapo optical cables for as long as I've been dealing in digital audio in professional applications without a hitch. You'll either get sound, or you won't. In the case of a coaxial connection, granted there are differences. It is then worth investing in a good quality 75 ohm lead for such connections to minimise the effects of electrical noise on the cable. On that, I do agree with you wholeheartedly. Bear in mind as well, that in the case of digital audio, digital outputs have nothing to do with the ADC/DAC stage as far as transferring the data from one digital audio device to another is concerned. The only time the DAC comes into play is when that digital audio has to be converted to an analogue output for the sake of plugging into an analogue device, such as an amplifier. Otherwise, in digital transfer, the ADC/DAC stages are skipped.
