Re: MD: GEt your green markers here

2000-04-05 Thread JR Moore


  I've got just the  green marker you need!  It's on special too.  
 Step
 right this way.  Don't mind those technical guys, they don't know 
 what
 the heck they are talking about.. Besides, I can't get them to
 accept any kick backs from my Green Markers For You, Inc.   Now
 those What HiFI guys, those are the ones ya gotta listen to.. damn
 straight.

Yeah, they work wonders. I was able to hear all sorts of shit with the
green marker. Hell, if you get a nice even coat of green marker ink on
the disc, it REALLY sounds good.

BTW, pink marker on the side of a MD will improve the decoding of ATRAC
audio.

Hi List,

I've got another doosey of a question.

I want to record MP3s with my PC onto MD.

I'm using a Midiman Dio 2448.  I want to go optical out into my Sharp 831, 
but am having no luck...

Do I need to convert the MP3 to some type of digital file and then go out?

Any help would be appreciated!

 Hi List,

 I know I can adjust the record level on the fly with my Sharp 831, but I'm
 not sure what kind of lighting I'll have at the Red Hot Chili Peppers /
Foo
 Fighters concert I will be attending.

 I use Core-Sound Binaural Mics with Bass Filter.  I'll definetly use the
 Bass Filter since this place (Bryce Jordan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pennsylvania) is
a
 sardine can.

 Anyone have any advice on this?  I was thinking 15, but not sure.

 I'll try to adjust, but don't want to give myself away...

 This is my first time using the Sharp for a show that I care about.  I
 always used a Sony before, but got sick of worrying about End Search...

Hi Mark,

I just bought an 831 two days ago.  Hot little product.

I just made some digital recordings from my laptop last night.  I bought an
optical cable with the rectangular connector on one end which plugs into my
laptop optical SPDIF output connector.  Then I used my MP3 player to play my
MP3 tracks as I normally do - the data is streamed out the SPDIF port.  You
can put the 831 in synchro mode to autostart when a digital signal is present.

Check out the minidisc appreciation page for more detail on soundcards and
SPDIF:  http://members.tripod.com/~Psych/index.html

A 4.5 volt adapter will RUN the 702 fine, but will not
charge it.   As I recall, I had to pay something like
$30 for a 5V charger (but actually it was somewhat worth
it because it is much smaller and lighter than the
stock charger).  I think I got it from Planet MiniDisc
or MiniDisc now.

MD: Sharp Frustration!

2000-04-05 Thread Todd A.


Dear Mders,

I've recently had a bad experience
with my Sharp 702 MD.

The AC Adaptor burnt out on me.

I said, no problem go to the local
electronics store, spend 12 dollars and
get another.

Since then I have searched all over NYC
and all over the US via the internet and
no one carries a 5v/800ma AC adaptor.
They have every voltage EXCEPT
the one I need. 

I called Sharp and they sent me to their
distributor who sells the thing for $50
plus s/h. A real rip-off.

I am SO irritated about this because these
things sell for $12 for every other voltage.

I spoke to someone at one of the Minidisc
companies...and he told me off the record
that a 4.5 voltage adaptor will work just
fine. 

Know anything about this?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks very much!

I sent you a priivate E-Mail-maybe you didn't get it. My Sharp 702 was
run over after it fell out of my pocket a couple of years ago while I
was running. I saved the AC Adaptor for whatever reason, I just pulled
it out after reading your post. It is the original AC Adaptor that is
quite different looking from the Sony's and most others. You can have it
for $25 including shipping. E-Mail me if you're interested.

I use a 4.5V charger with my MT-821 (bought it in Japan, Australia uses
240V).  Works fine.  The difference is that while the 5V one will charge
while the MD is playing, at 4.5V it won't.  It charges when switched off
though.

The reason they have to support 4.5V is that it's easily stepped down to
from 12V as used in cars.  Read the spec sheet of your MD to see if it
supports 4.5V.  They seem to accept more than one voltage.

Re: MD: Sony R90/R91: I found one major difference

2000-04-05 Thread Leon



  ===
  = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please  =

Thanks for the info... another reason not to buy the R90 :)

Leon

 The VU (level) meter is calibrated differently on the two units.  Read on:
 
 The R90's (at least MY R90, this might not be the case with newer units)
 level meter will hit the ninth (and final) bar regularly, while "OVER" is
 somewhere to the right of the final bar, making it difficult to measure
 whether a recording is going OVER or not.  This is unlike the R55, where 0dB
 was between the 8th and 9th bars, and OVER was indicated by the ninth bar
 (this was much easier to read).
 
 The 91 (at least my roommate's R91) is calibrated like the R55, where the
 8th is about as high as it goes normally, and OVER is indicated by the 9th
 bar.
 
 I have compared a number of discs between the two units, and on all of them,
 the 9th bar on the R90's meter corresponds to the 8th bar of the R91.
