Thanks for the warning. But don't worry, I'm using 4.2. I was just suggesting that the disc and the clamps are equally useful: not.

Thanks, BIGHMW, for the MZ-NH700 at a great price. If he's selling anything else, folks should grab it. Shipped instantly, very carefully packed, all accessories and more. 14 FET clamps and a SonicStage 2.1 disc, woo-hoo!

I rarely use the remote, and I don't have it with me and the NH700. I'll try to check out which bands work when they're both in the same place. It's Australian if I remember correctly, and un-hacked. Meanwhile, the other units are still up for grabs.

Someone has grabbed them.... --------------------------- For parts or possible fixing, some handy MDCF reader can have them for the price of shipping. (Through Paypal.) That's $9 in the United States, and we'd have to figure it out elsewhere . First PM gets them. The NH600D has a broken headphone jack and now doesn't read discs at all. The NHF800 records and plays back unreliably, with dropouts and glitches. (I'm keeping the NHF800's FM remote to use with my NH700.) Just the units, no headphones/adapters/remotes/manuals etc. You can request one unit or both. I'll be in England next week, so if you're in Europe and respond quickly, we may save on postage by mailing from there.

Here's the code from my latest stack of Sony CD-Rs. MASDWHY3T6C4

MASDHMYY8XDJ happy DRM

Actually, Sony did finally provide software, at least for mic-in recordings. You still can't bypass SonicStage, but it does upload the PCM recordings without compressing them. And if they are live microphone recordings then you can use Sony's Wav Converter or Marcnet's utility to convert them to .wav. It's still a ridiculous two-step process--Sony ought to just let us drag-and-drop the wav files. But SonicStage isn't compressing them, just wrapping them in DRM and then stripping it with Wav converter.

SorryStooge . Because it's a sorry excuse for a program, and you feel like a stooge every time you use it.

You need SonicStage 2.3 . Get it here: http://connect.com/download.html

Also posted another one: Cuban jazz.

Another new recording at livefrommd : African music by Mory Kante, a griot from Guinea who's been making pop-fusion records but has gone back to acoustic instruments. It's at a club, so there's conversation, and to fit it into the mailbox I had to convert it down to 128k Mp3, but the detail is still excellent. It's a 12-piece band, and the balafon player is smokin'! NHF-800, by the way

You'll want Low Sensitivity for music with a wide dynamic range. If you're practicing in a small room put the mic at some distance away to get the blend. The closer it is, the more the individual voices will separate out. Use Manual Volume, 10-12/30 for starters, experiment from there. There are already two mics in your ECM 907, since it's a stereo mic. If you want to hook up two separate mics you can easily find a Y connector with two inputs and one output, but you're not in control of the mix, so those mics had better be well matched. For multiple mics you might want to get a little mixer.

It's the first sticky under NetMD/MDLP. It's the first sticky under Live Recording. Unless you have Hi-MD, you have to go analog--headphone out to PC Line In.

If your mics are already low sensitivity you may be able to get away with one of the older Sony MDs that doesn't have a low-sens setting: MZ-N707 (NetMD) or MZ-R700 (MDLP, but not NetMD), both of which have been workhorses for me. If you're used to getting the R37 into shows, those will be a breeze--they're considerably smaller. Sony's MZ-R900 and the 900s in the N series do have a sensitivity control, but I don't like the gumstick batteries--give me AAs any time. I'm not familiar with Sharp models, but there should also be a lot of those to choose from.
