Re: MD: track marking

1999-10-16 Thread J. Coon


You can put track marks anytime you want by pressing the record (REC)
button or the BASS button during record.  YOu can also use the timed
track marking with the 701

Re: MD: track marking

The Sharp 701 also only allows 'timed' track marks from the mic input.
I also wanted to use this feature when recording from radio, so I made an
attenuating lead - just a normal 2 x RCA to stereo minijack with a couple
of resistors in-line. This drops the signal to the correct level to not
over-load the mic input.
I forget the value of them - I think they were about 15k (and probably the
correct way is to use four of them one in-line and one across signal to
ground for each channel) but it works fine
You may be able to buy such a lead from Tandy etc - also Sony may have one
as an accessory.
Technically speaking it's probably not quite as good as recording from
line-in due to the extra noise from the mic stage but I doubt you would
hear the difference, especially considering the not so hi-fi source

AFAIK, the Sony's don't have any provision for 'timed' track marking.

BTW, just to clarify, you can add track marks manually at any time by just
pressing the rec button,  using any input (even optical?) but the
attenuating lead is required if you want auto 'timed' track marks.

You can't press the record button (while recording) to create a track mark
at the current point like is possible while recording via the line in?

If it's the same as the 722 (and I think it is) yes it is true that
you can only put track markings automatically every 10 mins via the
mic input.

>Excuse the ignorance.
Hey no problem, best to be safer then sorry... Hey Gaz can a sony do
what he wants???

Highly unlikely.  All MD recorders I've heard of have a way of adding a track
mark at the current point during recording and of dividing tracks at additio-
nal places later.

MD: track marking

1999-10-15 Thread Wall, Nicholas


Hey Everyone,

Another newbie question - I'm about to buy my first minidisc recorder
(probably a Sharp 831 portable) and I just read something that concerned me
a bit. Apparently you can only put track markings in when recording from a
mic? Is this true? I will use my MD for recording from the radio a lot, and
will want to put in track marks throughout the recording (say 10 minutes
apart). Will I be able to do this?

Excuse the ignorance.

Nick.
