MD: Recording level / Playback level
I've been recording some of my own professional mixes using my MDS- JB920 and have noticed that the recording level indicator doesn't reflect the level of the audio on playback. Sometimes the level will peak and flash red (not very often) when recording, although I try to prevent that, but on playback the level seems to be one bar below and the peak indicator does not light up. This is true for almost all levels. Is there a reason for this? Perhaps to prevent users from recording at too high a level. === EASY and FREE access to your email anywhere: http://Mailreader.com/ === - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Portable recorders - which new model?
I started my MD experience with a Sony MZ-R2 bought in 1995 and due to an ATRAC and memory chip fault which prevented it from playing discs, I replaced it with an MZ-R30 in 1997. Both these models use the same batteries (LIP-12), mains chargers and remote units and earphones, which have been quite useful. With the obvious benefits of newer portable recorders and the likelihood of functions such as an LP mode I am thinking of getting a new recorder in the next few months but am not sure what's available. Does anybody know what new models are likely to be released by Sony this autumn (or 'fall' for you Americans on this list). I was put off buying the R90 due to some complaints about its noisy operation. I use my MD machines for studio recording and also for playing mp3 and other audio files when I'm out DJing at parties. PS. Why all this talk about mp3 players when we all know that MD is far better. Why would you want a separate device just to play mp3's on, when you can quite easily record them to a portble MD machine to listen to. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: HiSpace discs and C13 error
I have not had the best experience with HiSpace discs so I choose not to use them. The main problems I've found are that some discs recorded on other players, are recognised (TOC etc.) by my old Sony MZ-R30 portable but not always by my MDS-JB920. For some reason the deck gives a "C13" disk error message when you try to insert it and it just ejects. I have to put it in a couple of times before it finally reads the disc and lets you play. I am not sure why the portable has no trouble with it - only the deck gives problems. Sometimes I can record on HiSpace discs with my portable/deck but then later, the deck gives the same error. Its not very reassuring. Any comments? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
