Re: MD: Cheap semi-pro interconnects

2000-04-21 Thread Peter Wood


Heya Guys + Gaz ;)

Is it really worth getting these cheap (but supposedly higher quality)
interconnects than those provided with the units, or is it just another
scam?
No it's not a scam... I've got cables here that I can definatly tell
the difference between... (ie some really cheap and nasty stuff and
some normal nice wire ;).

If your really intrested in hearing high quality sound then it's worth
it... Hence I need to get a decent lead for my Turtle Beach sounds
card to my amp.

(Kinda disappoint with that card... sounds good, but it's a small
headphone type jack output... (sucky), and it doesn't have an onboard
digital input (for the cd drive). However it does have a very nice
digital optical/coax I/O board which my minidisc is usual connected to
;).

Oh Gaz... "/me"??? You been spending a little too much time on IRC?
Hehe, oh let me know which network you use... Or if you use the lineone
server (which is DALnet ;)..

Okey I'm gonna go, have a good one all,

Peter.

MD: discussion on advertising

While this list isn't for advertising,  if someone is having a special
deal on minidisc equipment or blanks I don't mind seeing a short=20
note about it on the list.  I think that most of the people who do post=20
these ads know how to stay on the "providing information" side
of the line.

However,  I would really like to see anyone who posts a "special"
deal to the list come clean with all the charges involved including
shipping and handling so we do get all the infomation we need and
don't waste time ordering a pack of discs only to find a minimum
4.95 shipping charge at the end of the process so the $1.50 disks
you wanted are really $2.50 discs.

Thanks,

David Sowa

I agree totally agree.  I ordered some discs I learned of here at a rate of 15 MDs for 
 $29.00.  Sounds like a good deal, then I find out that Shipping and Handling via UPS 
Ground is $6.50 which makes the price per disc not such a good deal after all.  I did 
not know of the cost until the deal was done.   I know shipping and handling will vary 
depending on which state you live, but maybe a general guideline to West, Midwest, 
East would be a good idea.   The buyer needs to know ahead of time what these charges 
are before the deal is done.

Re: MD: MD remote in Freestylers video

 Saw on MTV the other night a video by the Freestylers that showed the main

 Can't remember the name of the track, and all the Freestylers fan sites seem
 to have stopped updating in 1998.

The video you saw on MTV was from a band called "Bomfunk MC's" and the
name of the
track was "Freestyler". That group is from Finland and their record
company
is Sony so that explains why their video is full of stuff from Sony :-).

Their next video has more stuff from Sony.. even though it looks like
they
got even more money from Audi because the video looks more like an Audi
TT
ad. (not sure if the video is on MTV (US/Nordic) yet.. saw it about a
week ago on some local 
channel) There is at least a Sony Glasstron (sp? that blue cool-looking 
display-device),  again that kid with a Sony md-remote and a Sony
portable 
dvd-player on that video.

The track is by Bomfunk MC's, the song is named "Freestyler".

Not a blatant MD plug, but pretty cool nonetheless..

I thought it was pretty blatant. He shows the unit (MZ-R50) for a couple of 
seconds and uses it throughout the video.

 I agree with everything that you said 100%.  There was a company who's price
 was the delivered price.

Unfortunately, they didn't know how to run a business.  It's a shame because
they had the concept down perfectly but their delivery (both uses of the word)
stunk.  That company was the late Mini Disc Now.

It is just about impossible to give a delivered price on international
orders.  But MDN did give delivered price in the US.  They also had the sense
to use Priority Mail, which is much more reasonable then most other carriers
and has delivery on Saturday.  I can't believe that UPS does not make
deliveries on Sat!

LAS

If the dealer uses Priority mail, the price is the same all over the country.

MD: beginner question

2000-04-21 Thread Norlin, Chris


Just purchased Sony MZ-R55, am recording environmental sounds. Eventually, I
want to publish these for my friends by digitally transferring to my Mac,
editing as necessary, and then saving the final version on a recordable CD.
Can anyone point me to the resource or Web site that explains how said
digital transfer can be accomplished, or am I just tilting at windmills?

Hi...

Personally, on our website, we offer Priority Mail...

But, in fact, since we had some problem in the past with USPS (people who 
told they don't receive their order and you have any proof with USPS except 
if you use a return receipt service).

So I offer the USPS priority mail with the return service... and with this 
service it's nearly the same price as UPS !!!

However, I could use only USPS Priority Mail but what could I do with 
customers who don't receive the stock ??? Who I have to blame ??? USPS or 
the customer ???

At least, with UPS, we have a tracking number, and with USPS priority mail 
with return receipt too...

If you have any better idea for shipping, I'm really open to it...

Don't hesitate to reply to me, or visit my website and let your comments... 
or place order...
