All this is dead simple to get your head around if only you just stopped thinking about the gear! The first thing is the interview. Quality not quantity! Also, this coming date is about communication first and foremost so why don't you have a nice chat and get the folks in the kitchen to turn things off or down. If this diplo approach won't work, why not just close mic the dude and transmitt to a PA from one of those wireless systems that cost pennies to hire.

Bowell or Gut gas stored in seal tight plastic bags called SNIFFIES!. These can be pulled out at a moments notice to either obtain instant fuel or to knock out the attacker dead. Another idea I'm working on contains attachable strings thereby allowing the solider to float off when the going gets tuff. The SNIFFIE gas bags are so designed to clip on just over the left shoulder leaving digits free to operate the MD. Due to sub my paper next week after testing. Wife is on holiday with a head cold.

Could you give us a break down on your guitar collection?

All that shaking is no good for the minisidc!!

Remember to keep the mic free from vibrations and the like. If you've access to a mic stand pinch it and secure the unit with good padding. Sounds simple but I've ruined many live recordings by placing the mic in the direction of opening doors, creaking windows and human traffic. Try and block off that area where you've set up so folks won't wander into it and cause disturbance like asking you as loud as possible "What you doing"?

Boxed the lot with all the operating manuals + a £60 tie pin mic!. I know, I know but I was in funds at the time and had all the recordings loaded onto my hard disc. Funny thing is I miss it bad like my old porta DAT. I like this new one (RH1) but it just ain't the same. When I first got it out of the box on Saturday gone, I was shocked to see/feel so much plastic. Those three buttons on the top are a joke but at least it has the USB connection for my Mac and I can get away from those awful mini phone connection cables. What I'll do next is get hold of another E10 off ebay and then have the best of both worlds.

And a very warm welcome to you to! Okay, I get the picture but wish now that I didn't donate my last minidisc player MZ-E10 to the last school I was working at thinking that I wouldn't ever need it again. I wonder if it ever got used? Anyway, I think the best thing for me to do is just hold tight with what I've got in terms of transfer quality via a mini jack phono cable and set my sights on enjoying the USB connection. Thanks, JJ

Hi and many thanks for getting back to me so soon! Have followed your sensible advice and downloaded the version 2 on to my Mac and it works fine with the new HiMD discs. Of course the RH1 unit won't recognise the old MD discs, doesn't do the "accept" thing when you slot in the disc at the start, so I'm stuck really with a load of material I can't transfer except by mini jack cable. Urrrrgh! Is there any other solution? Am I really getting less quality through this way of imputting rather than USB? The quality sounds rather good to me after abit of careful KHz manipulation in Apples Soundtrack pro Editing software. A tadd of bass here and there does wonders for the old voals! JJ

Hi!, Just purchased a Sony MZ-RH1 and wish to transfer all my old MD recordings onto my trusty G4 Apple Mac. Dead simple! Strange thing is that the importing software supplied won't recognise the media or connection from the unit via a USB cable. However, when I attempt to transfer from Hi-MD, there is no problem. The files appear as expected in WAV. on the desktop. Brilliant! I purchased the MZ-RH1 in order to get away from having to use analogue mini plug connections. My Mac OS X software is 10.4.06 if that means anything to anyone. Question: I am doing something wrong? Am I missing to press a button or something? There's nothjing in the instruction manual and the shop folks are pretty clueless because they don't know how to operate the equipment only sell the stuff! JudasJack
