Hello all. First, thank you to Ray and Tim for responding to my enqueries re: rechargeable batteries for the MD-15. You may recall, that approximately 3 weeks ago, when I purchased the MD-15 (my first MD unit), I was disappointed with my intial attempts at recording. With the encouragement of many of you, I persevered. I have since made three digital recordings from CDs, and am generally pleased with the results. In general, the only differences I hear between the original CDs and the digitally recorded MDs is a lack of what we used to call some 30 years ago - presence. I still believe it to be a reduction of the overtones that cause this. The actual notes are reproduced acurately, and the timbre seems accurate. Hard to define exactly what I mean by presence - but there is a certain resonance that seems to be on the CDs more than on the MDs. This is more apparent in classical recordings than in rock or jazz recordings. While I don't believe the quality to be 99% as good as CD, I do like the format and its conveniences well enough. In fact, I just bought the Sony CD -> MD deck - can never remember the model #, MDX-MD3 or something like that. Have set it up; but haven't had time to try it out yet. Now to my question. One of the pieces I recorded (digitally) on my MD-15 was a work for bassoon and piano by Jules Massenet. Towards the end of this brief work - at about 1:27 into it, there is a chord played on the lower part of the piano. I have listened a couple of times to this chord, and I have to say that it sounds more like noise (almost like the sound of someone blowing slowly into a microphone) than a piano chord. Has anyone ever experienced problems recording chords on the bass portion of a piano? Thanks for your help. Also, thanks for the digest, it's been helpful.
