 Anyone know where I can get a pair of those great Nude Ex earbuds with a
 NORMAL SIZED LONG CORD instead of the annoying short cord that minidisc
 users love so dearly.  I hate only being able to use a pair of headphones
 with my MD player and not my CD player as well.  Thanks

Does anyone know what units (ie; home decks) have Scale Factor Edit on them.
Sounds like a dream feature to me.

Peter


 Another question: is it compatible with existing hardware?  From what I've
 heard it is storing information on the disc, and the actual volume
 reduction is happening on playback, so can existing hardware read the
 information and do the volume adjustment?

MD: Fw: Copying records to Mini-disc

Clean the disk really well with a quality record cleaner and clean the
needle as well with a needle cleaner.

Scratches are part of the personality of a record anyways, viva analogue and
vinyl

 Hi,

 Can anyone recommend a program to help remove scratches and pops from
records
 before copying them to Mini-disc.

 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: MD: analog to digital?

Matt
Midiman in the UK make a number of cheap and effective bi-directional
Digital/Analog converters which convert a Digital Output to Analog or vice
versa.  I have their CO2 model which is only $69.  Try
soundprofessionals.com (who are very cheap), they have a number of Midiman
models ranging from the cheap to expensive.

 Here's a newbie question.  Is there some way I can put my tapes onto
 minidisc??  Here's the equipment I have:  Aiwa CX-NA31 (this is a 3 cd
shelf
 system with dual cassette, also has an optical out so I can put my cd's
onto
 md but nothing else:(  and a Sharp 702.  Is there some sort of cable I can
 run out of the headphone jack of the Aiwa that will convert the signal to
 digital for my Sharp?  Or how else might I do this?
 thanks

MD: Fw: Mains cable as speaker cable

2000-04-13 Thread Peter Brown


Anyone have opinions on cables between audio components (RCA),.  There seems
to be a huge market for 'premium' cables between audio components, with
prices running to very high levels.  Not being knowledgeable in this area
I'd be interested in people's opinions.

 Me and about any other sensible person that I know.

 Speaker-cable is based upon the fairytale that is called: 'People
believe'.
 And one other `Quality costs money`.

 Ie, most people don't know anything about cable materials. So there are
 some manufacturers that play with that. Take standard mains cable and
market
 it as special speaker wire.

 One thing is for sure here, a 2.5 mm2 mains cable will give 'better' sound
 than a 1.0 mm2 speaker cable (which cost probably the same as the 2.5mm2
mains).

MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD

2000-03-31 Thread Peter Brown


\  I don't understand that this topic keeps coming up - is there _any_
  CD-writing program out there that doesn't allow you to specify the track
 gap?
 
  The old Easy CD Creator Pro v2 did, Nero does, Easy CD Creator does (if
 you
  bother to go into the menu), I'm quite sure WinOnCD does.. I mean, why
  bother creating a "gap" file when you can set the gap without kludges?

I cant  go into the menu if I dont have the software, nor know of anyone who
does,  nor do I have a CDR.
I am merely asking questions because I am new to the transfer of MD to CD
and have found the list to be full of valuable advice.

 thanks for the tip
 cheers

MD: Fw: Optical Outs

1999-10-18 Thread Peter Brown


I'm only a newbie but it seems from my studies that no Portable Minidisc
recorders have an optical output, which seems kind of stupid.  So the only
way of making a fully optical recording from your portable to a CDR is if
you also get a stand alone non-portable Minidisc deck.

 Someone posted a message expressing disappointment about his MD deck not
 having an optical line out.  What reasonably-priced units do have an
optical
 out?  Do any portables?

 I kind of got into this here before, but I don't remember if anyone said
 there was a portable play-only unit that had an optical line out.  That
would
 meet my specific needs.  If I can't get that, then I'll be looking at a
 second deck.

 Sorry if this question repeats something I sent earlier.  Don't mean to
 clutter up the list.

MD: Newbie question recording from Minidisc to CDR

1999-10-08 Thread Peter Brown


Hi

Being a newbie to minidiscs i have a question.

I am about to purchase a Sony MZ-R90 portable minidsic player.

I want to record to minidisc using binaural mics which I have worked out.

I then will want to record from minidisc to CDR (on a PC) and have not been
able to find a resource on the net that explains this.  I was wondering if
anyone could point me to any resources about this or give me some tips.

This is what I have figured out and as far as I know it could be totally
wrong.

Is it possible to do digital to digital minidisc to CDR recordings?  I
assume to do this u need a line out on the Sony minidisc that is a TOS
connection? Is this the case and is there a TOS line out on the Sony
minidisc recorder.  Where does SPIDIF fall into this and what exactly are
SPDIF and TOS, are they different?  Secondly you need a TOS/SPDIF connection
on the PCs soundcard (for the CDR).  As long as that is the case I presume
these recordings can be made.  Or am I wrong and is the only output on a
minidisc recorder analogue  As you can see I am confused any any advice
would be appreciated.

Cheers
Pete

 A. S/PDIF is the format of the audio data being transmitted (Sony/Philips
 Digital Interface Format).

 B. TOSlink (Toshiba Link) is a connection type for a physical medium
 (optical) which may be used to transfer the above mentioned data (other
 mediums include coax cables etc.)

 C. What you need is a digital output from the Z90 (you'll have to check
that
 for yourself), if such an output exists it's probabely optical.

 D. You need a soundcard with a digital input (SB Live/Value, Hoontech's ST
 series etc.), and make sure the bracket on the card has the desired
digital
 connection (either optical or RCA(coax)). If you have the Live/Value you
can
 get Hoontech I/O board III for about 35$ which has both optical and RCA
 input and output. (www.hoontech.com)

 E. Then you record the audio stream from the MD using the sound card
 DIGITALY to a standard PCM encoded file on your hard drive (.wav), after
 which you're ready to burn it on a CDR in the standard CD-Audio format,
thus
 the whole proccess is done digitaly and the only source for audio quality
 degredation is the ATRAC compression algorithm which is used to store the
 audio data on the MD.
