  1. London Drugs is clearing out all blank MDs!!!

    i think london drugs is only in western canada.

    4.99 for 5-pack of Sony (standard multi-color pack) and some cheap maxell stuff too, different locations have different stock.

    i bought a bunch of Gold 80min sony for 0.99 each. i also saw hi-md for 6.99.

  2. I agree on the advertising bit. Sony needs to let people know about Hi-MD... the right people.

    -recording enthusiasts/vinyl record collectors

    -musicians/singers/DJs

    -reporters/anyone else that regularly would use a tape recorder

    Imagine this for a tv commercial...

    A great concert. Everyone is having a good time, and instead of the usual waving of cigarette lighters... you see a massive wave of Hi-MD recorders!

    Market it as a High Quality Recorder, not as an MP3 Player!

    They should make a matching hi-fi deck for the RH1, and offer a package deal if you buy both.

  3. I use Sound Forge for editing etc. and I just realized that I can export my files to a NetMD device!

    I have tried it once... a little dialogue box prompts you to title your track and then it records to your MD. You don't get to choose which mode (LP2, LP4). For me it transferred in LP2 mode. I think it may be because other tracks on my disc were in LP2. Also, I was able to delete the track using my MD unit.

    I wish Sound Forge could open ATRAC files... :angry:

  4. cool!

    just making sure you checked all options before doing anything drastic like throwing it out the window...

    i'm not an expert, but the headphone jack is probably fixable. maybe you know someone who is good with electronics stuff that can help you.

    do you have the habit of wrapping your headphone cord really tightly around the body of your player? back in the day i used to do that with my tape walkman and it would cause the same problem that you have with sound only from 1 side.

    well.. good luck with your efforts.

  5. some ideas for gear to get:

    Condenser Mic

    Audio Interface/Soundcard - either PCI or external USB/Firewire

    Mic Pre-amp

    Monitors/Speakers

    you can skip the mixer because you can just mix with whatever software you decide to use

    have a look at M-Audio for audio interfaces

    also Digidesign

    digidesign has the MBOX, around 400-500US i think, and it comes with ProTools software which is pretty much industry standard. so you could transfer your data to a real studio and it would load up just fine. digidesign actually recently acquired m-audio and they have made a protools version for m-audio hardware, but you have to buy it separate. i think the mbox would be good since you will get hardware and software.

    well that's all i can think of at the moment... hope it was helpful
