Hi, There's a great FAQ here, but I'm still unsure of something. In the past, I used a sony MD that had no manual rec levels. I had to buy a battery box w/ bass roll off & recording levels to help. So now I have a new rh-10 where I can set up everything. Do I still need to set the recommended levels on the md as well as the battery box? Are all the specifics mentioned in the FAQ the same if I'm using this battery box? I use binaural mics-batt box-line in for loud rock shows in clubs. Also, can you give me an idea about what settings I'll probably want to use in my situation? I know, experience will tell me & I need to be at the show to know for sure. But it may be hard for me to fool around with this at the show, and it would help if I had an idea (I won't have time to go to a practice show before I'm going to a concert I really want to record). Thanks

Thank you both for your answers. I think I'm understanding a little more. The version that came with my rh10 is SS3.0. I appreciate the tips, I'll eventually try it with some test recordings. I'll have to stick with the old-fashioned way for now though. I think I have to for all my recordings made on my old MD. Kate

I've tried doing research here, but I'm still confused. I just want to know if my rh-10 will do certain things. I only want to use this to record concerts (usually 90 min. shows) with regular minidiscs. I also want to upload my shows thru line-in on my computer with my wave programs, like soundforge or cd wave. I don't care about uploading in real time, I don't want to use sonic stage & worry about their copyright issues. I also want to be able to upload more than once, just in case I make a mistake. So, can I still do this the same way as I did on my old minidisc? (this goes for new recordings and my old ones I recorded with a non-himd minidisc). Do I have to re-format the md? And what speed should I record on? I'm sorry, it's hard for me to understand tech stuff. So, I'd appreciate if anyone can help.
