RE: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD
Fair points. I guess you've had better luck with the room acoustics than I have. And I agree with the recording at conservative levels. I do exactly the same, to avoid nasty surprise clipping. Besides, if I do make a mess of the editing, that's what the Undo feature is for 3#-) Adios, LarZ --- TAMA - The Strongest Name in Drums --- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Magic Sent: Tuesday, 4 April 2000 10:09 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD I often get the mix just right direct from live source to MD, so I don't need to adjust the EQ much if at all.

RE: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD
Geez, you waste no time 3#-) I give a lot of attention to detail so spanning over 2 weeks, I usually take about a cumulative 4-14 hours of post-production work to come up with something I think sounds decent, depending on how difficult an environment the master was recorded in. But I agree with the methods you state. It's just that in my case, I don't just normalise after I EQ. I normalise first, then apply a hard limit (in most cases), and then I save the work. Takes some time to find the right flavour, but it's worth it.

Umm, I hope we're not losing sight of the big picture here.

Re: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD
Note to everyone out there looking at using Wavelab. I used to use it and was very pleased with it. At the time i also used adapted products. It seems a while back (i stopped using wavelab so i'm not sure which revision they did this in) they decided to use thier own aspi layer. Now those of you out there who use cdr's know the problems that you have between Adaptec's aspi layer and Nero's Aspi layer, well i experienced this when Wavelab decided to user thier own layer. So if you use adaptec app's and Wavelab and experience funky lockup's etc... try uninstalling wavelab and see if that helps. - Original Message - From: Tony Antoniou [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 03, 2000 1:29 AM Subject: RE: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD Umm, I hope we're not losing sight of the big picture here.

Heya, I was using Soundforge to break up live recordings into separate files then burn to disc but i've just started using a much quicker way which is quite easy. 1) Record MD to HDD using Soundforge. 2) Do any editting (such as EQ, fade ins/outs, and use the normalise feature to get the audio to maximum level) and save as a single wav file. 3) Use CDwav to open the file and place track markings with the mouse, then save a cuesheet. 4) Use CDRWin to burn a cuesheet to CD.

RE: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD
That sounds like a pretty cool program, where can i get it from? But I thought the original post was talking about live recordings, and i can't see how a piece of software can know where to put track marks automatically when there's no silence between tracks.

From: Peter Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Minidisc List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 12:14 PM Subject: MD: Fw: Fw: Transferring MD to CD 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. Doing MD to CD is very easy if you have a CD-R drive, but you need to make sure your sound card is quite good quality so that the recording you make to your PC is high quality, and you'll typically need about 700Mb of hard disc available (around 10Mb per minute of audio). The hardest part is getting the record levels set right in the sound software, but that's just a matter of playing the loudest point on the disc and using that as a reference. The only downside is it can be very time consuming - you need the time o play the disc, split up the file you recorded into tracks (unless you do one at a time) and burn them to CD. I usually find a 70 minute MD takes me about 2 hours to get right, but I like to fine-tune the record levels and EQ the sound sometimes too which takes a bit of time.
