MD: Copying MD to CD - Hiss Between Tracks
I am a regular reader of the MD list, but have never seen this particular problem discussed. When I record individual tracks to MD from LPs or CDs in analog mode and fade them out manually at the end of the track (leaving a few seconds between each cut) the silence between tracks is absolutely silent and the transition is smooth. When I load the MD to my computer (using Adaptec CD Creator 4 Deluxe) and then burn a CD there is a hiss between tunes that isn't on the MD. If If I transfer the MD one track at a time into CD Creator and let the program put the silence between the tracks it will go to dead silence, but it is an abrupt cutoff rather than a smooth fade to silence - almost like you flipped a switch rather than did a volume fade. Does this explanation make any sense to anyone? I've heard this same type of thing on commercial discs, so the "big guys" have the same problem, but I've always blamed it on sloppy editing on their part. When I do a direct CD-CD copy using the Adaptec software the results are always the same as the original disc, so I know it's not my computer. Anybody out there have any thoughts?

Re: MD: Copying MD to CD - Hiss Between Tracks
sounds like you're recording from md to computer with an analog connection, and the hiss is coming in there. if you used a home md deck with digital output, went into the computer on a digital input (which probably means you'd need a new soundcard) i suspect this wouldn't happen. a simpler (cheaper) solution would be to do the edits AFTER you transfer to computer, in (e.g.) goldwave (if you have a pc). your edited WAV files will then fade to dead silence. peter On 1 Mar 01, 4:37AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am a regular reader of the MD list, but have never seen this particular problem discussed.

Re: MD: Copying MD to CD - Hiss Between Tracks
When I load the MD to my computer (using Adaptec CD Creator 4 Deluxe) Adaptec CD creator = 100 % SHITE Use something decent such as Nero. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MD: Sharp MS702 Battery charging
Hey all, I have had my 702 for a couple years now and have had no problems. My Li-ion battery finally gave out and I lost my ac adaptor all at once. I replaced the battery but had a universal ac cube from radio shack that seems to power the player fine. The player will not go into charge mode. The manual says if the voltage is wrong the screen will say "Power?" But mine shows nothing. I tried feeding it exactly 5.0v from a variable transformer and it still won't charge, so I don't think getting teh official power adaptor will solve this. Can these 3.6 volt batteries be charged any other way outsie the unit? I have seen tones of cheap camcorder recharger online. I really don't want to have bought a battey and an ac acptor for $110 when I can get a whole new unit for $150. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can probably find it on cnet.com under downloads. This is a search engine that searches 10 of the popular search engines all at once! Then type it in and set it to search for "the exact phrase". If make take a few links before you find one, but that would be my suggestion. Larry - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: professional MD portables
Hi folks. Other than digital out, what other differences are there between the top consumer-grade and "professional" grade portable MD recorders? I've heard there is one such "pro" model by Marantz ... are there any newer that have LP mode available? thanks much, Chris - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: Sharp MS702 Battery charging
i also had a hard time getting a battery to charge on my 702. i had a universal adapter tried both 4.5V 6V, but neither would work (6V would charge a little, 4.5V not at all). my 702 never complained about the voltage; it just didn't charge. then i added the 5V simple regulator circuit (see http://minidisc.org/5v_regulator.html), bumped the power from the AC adapter to 7.5V (the circuit loses a bit in the reduction) all works well. i suspect that your variable transformer either wasn't putting out the full 800mA the 702 needs to charge, or wasn't quite 5V. hope this helps peter On 1 Mar 01, 5:24PM, Damon Smith wrote: The player will not go into charge mode.
