Learned something by accident, broke down and bought a set of stero mics on ebay at a price I couldnt resist. So tried them on my Sharp which I have never been happy with the noise on the mic input and could not believe how nice the recording was. I am talking live recording . Before I had been using Mono mics with adapter to make them stero and boy was the sound lousy. I was looking for a used sony because you guys told me how good the mic inputs are but this week I was really surpised. They are the little sony stero mics.

Been away for awhile but is Green still making stero Mics ??? Does anyone know how much and how to get to his web site . Thanks

Is the mzr 50 the same as the mz50 and how much are you asking ???

Sent photos you wanted , is that grey thing a mic ??? Don

Nope probably wouldnt get along too much alike if its in my bio I am a big fan of old timey stuff and ballads but finding out I am not alone you are ahead of me you can play I just know a couple of chords but can fix

I figured that , just like to tease what style acoustic is it , ????

Are you tasting or playing forgot to ask what do you build ???

We have to meet someday if possible, we have so much in common . My son plays backup for the South Dakota Old Time Fiddlers on guitar , bass and some mandolin and they found out Dad knows what the buttons are for and where the wires go on sound systems so years later here we are. I also do not play much but my hobby is restoring old instruments to make them sound good again if I say so myself I am not to bad at it . In fact picked up a old german fiddle today at a rummage sale best guess its from the 20's ??? looks like lots of potential !!!!!!!!! Now just got to get a minidisc keep getting out bid

Any of you have young Violin players that need to move up to a better or larger instrument. This is my best one http://www.banjohangout.org/classifieds/detail.asp?cid=1677 do have some cheaper student one but if looking for quality this is hard to beat. My finances just keep getting smaller than my wants

To answer the email I got, I have recorded with the sharp off a mixer through the line in for a couple of years and some of the best recordings and easy to edit I have ever seen. But was really unhappy when I tried to use the mic input in fact have not done it live still been trying to find a noise free way to do it but looks like there is not a way but line in is great .

It looks like if I go sony I can get the best of both worlds mic or line in

I was testing some of my basic mics just to see what they sounded like . I have enough adapters to make it stereo for testing. I found out with the headphones on I could listen to what is being recorded and in the process found lots of noise even before I hit record . Just holding the mic in my hand the smallest movement really had lots of noise. Heck it was noisy just laying there so thats why I got thinking of using the line in somehow for recording. I do not do stealth recording just jams and and stuff outside or indoors picking up some of the old songs so I can learn how they are supposed to be played. I really enjoy recording some of the older players that are doing some of the old mountain , blue grass or what we call old timey. I want to pick up a stereo mic for this sharp I have, mine are the ones I used with a mixer and power amps, not high end but decent for doing live sound etc at small concerts etc. Thanks to too many back operations I have sold the heavy stuff and do not do live sound anymore just now for my own enjoyment and going to some of the smaller out of the way music festivals where you run into some of the older players.

Greenmachine is there a battery powered preamp ??

If I understand this right the line in records cleaner than the mic in ??? And if I use a battery box this is enough power for the line in for recording on my sharp mdmt 15??? Thought I knew the route I was going to take but now not sure

If I buy a mic with a battery in it I wouldn't need a battery box right ??

Thanks for the info but they are kind of out of my budget right now.

Is a battery box , power for powered mics ??? If so do you have to worry about overloading the mic. input ??? I am looking for a new mic for my sharp mdmt 15 and was looking at a audio technica pro 24 battery powered stereo mic. is this too much for my sharp or is there something better ???? I am not looking to record stealth just at jams and outdoors often .

Is the mic input on my Sharp MDMT-15 Stereo ???? If it is not stereo do stereo mics work with this unit ???? Need a new mic and not sure which one to get , I know this is older but it still does a great recording. Bunch of music festivals coming up need a mic quick. email is monradon@msn.com

My first Mini Disk finally arrived and am figuring out everything but got one question. When adjusting recording levels I noticed in the bottom right hand corner it goes from 1 to 30 but the bar on top does not go all the way over to the 0 to -4 level is this normal for this model. It records great and plays back to my PC or headphones great ( Why did I wait so Long ) this is really going to help me on live recordings but just was wondering about the graph on the display??? Anyone recommend a Mike that is decent and not break the budget>> Thanks

Okay I still am going to learn on this, how do I download to PC . What is the format that audio is saved on the MD, SP in particular . My intention is to later make audio files for CD's and Cassettes yes some people in the midwest still use cassettes. I am dealing with a very old client base. Is there something to read that someone could recommend , guess I got to get up todate on SP before I move on to the newer stuff.

Thanks to you guys I am going to be ahead of the learning curve. Going to have to do a little reading to understand the difference between SP and MDLP ???

Thanks for the help I didn't know this is SP only??

I am brand new and and am starting with a Sharp MT-15 which MD's do I order and will it take the 80 minute ones I read about. Thought I would learn on this one.

Thanks for the help because I am brand new

I am looking for a mini disk recorder that records if I was told right 360 minutes , that has recording levels I can adjust and run on batteries or power supply and am on a limited budget. Am I dreaming , I record live sound for the South Dakota Old Time Fiddlers and 78 minutes is not long enough. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Don
