440 ,... he said he wanted MD . specifically MD that would play MP3 .

We cam make some equitable compensation , where each is happy , Right now though my wife isnt gonna let me do anything , just found out we only have 90 bucks in the bank , YIKES , in Japan ....That is a BAAADDDDD thing .

RH1/ M200 ........ M100 is older model

What is 40 pounds is dollars ? , anyway CD + Vinyl = Very Cool idea for a Boxed set

You Downloader you .....

well if you open it in Office , or Neo Office , or Open office , You have the choices of text , Graphics , etc . Type backwards if you want , the Doc file , wil put the Text cursor in the appropriate slots , you just have to visualize , and use sticky back printer paper and a cutting pad and razor knife ,( that is of course unless your the type that pulls the protective coating off the back of the sticky paper BEFORE you print it) Very nice , I wish that worked on Mac .

Legacy = Pre HiMD and Net MD ( what you have ) DRM = Digital Rights Managements , or Copyright Protection . , which will not let you recopy or make multiple copies from computer to computer.

If your on Windows the RH1 , MZ100, MZ200 will do the trick , with Sonic Stage software , but you will be DRM'ed big time by doing so . SS will encode it all and lock it , ........... If your on a MAC Legacy has to be done real time , or Recorded onto an RH1 in HiMD format , then uploaded as WAV( which will be DRM free , and opened in ANY PLAYER you want . ......Or editor to fix the boo boo's , or Burned to CD for family and friends , or converted to mp3 and sent by email to torture ex girlfriends , ........... So what model is your Sony , With optical out , it is either the MZ1 , or a standalone deck , not a portable.

I will get started on the cables and test them to make sure they work ( I need to make a couple for myself anyway ) I will post some pics for you when they are done , and contemplate the needs ( they will be cheap I assure you )

Maybe this wil help

LOL , you have seen Robin Williams , doing the Scottish thing havent you !

Voice mode will limit the Bass even further , but will result in a cleaner recording for that mic , there is a slight bit of attenuation of level , and a broader attenuation of Frequency , both the Highs, and lows will be trimmed.

for the rec order the voice mode would make the difference , but the Mic your using , is ....... well ..... an off the shelf low level mic . the 719 is just basically a clip on for close range , and low quality , it isnt made for a big hall . You have to know what to expect from things , You cant expect a VW Bettle , to run in an F1 race . A lot of times people will by a mic , just think about it being a Micrphone , and therefore should capture sound. But each type of Mic has different sensitivity, Noise Level , Frequency response , Polar Pattern , Impedance , Output level and Power requirement . All of these things will determine how well a mic will operate with a particular piece of equipment . The MD itself has a Nice Mic preamp , and the Nicer the mic, ( designed for MD mind you) then , the more of what the MD is capable of will be revealed.

Youll notice that pookie only has 2 posts ..... he might not know how to use th board very well.

If your just looking for the material and not a perfect recording , since it is voice use the AGC , if you are using an RH1 you have a couple different flavors of AGC . The Mic AGC can be set for Music or Voice . If it is fairly loud ,Mic sensitvity Low , AGC on . you might be surprised.

The Mic preamp in the MZ10 is designed for that type of mic , The design of a Preamp , has to be made with a specific purpose in mind , The Inputs on the Zoom , and the Fostex were designed for a purpose ,...... Just to have an Input . The preamp on the MD's are designed for recording . Lets go back to the R50 , I have done tests with my 822 and the RH1 , and the R50 . The R50 was made for recording and on a Semipro level , The Point being made is ... it was designed way Before USB interfacing was an issue , it was simply Made for Capturing Good quality sound . And that has not changed , only that USB has been added , and associated problems along with it , but the Mic input hasnt changed , and that is to Sony's credit. Whereas the Zoom was designed to interface with your computer , specifically that , and the Sonic quality is an afterthought , not the main purpose. My 822 has NEVER dissappointed me , but I know what to expect from it , and how to get it to do what it is capable of , The Zoom Preamp as well as MOST digital recorders (speaking of the Multitrack recorders ) have horrible preamps , you absolutely have to use an external pre to get a good sound , With the exeption of the MD ........... or Dat , and they have ................. yep the Same Preamps . Go to "The internet Archive " and browse the concerts that are on file ( You can download a LOT of Greatful dead there and other stuff free. But as you listen ,.. read what equipment was used to record what piece , they will be listed , that is a Great learning tool . It will be mostly DAT , or Sony Pro Cassette decks , or Dat to Nakamichi CR7a transfers The sound quality will vary by Mic and placement in the Audience , but read and listen and you will get a feel for what each piece was capable of , And you will be completely surprised at what a Cassette deck was capable of . The TC-D5m has always been one of my wants but I could ever find a used one , there is a good reason for that , noone will give that up , the same with the 822 , once you learn what it works with , you wont give it up . I could make you a cable if you would send me something from the US . ( even make a spare )

No DO NOT use that plug , That plug is for a Mono Mic not a Stereo Mic . Making the Cables for the 822 is easy , no biggie at all , If you want help with that PM me , 125 for an 822 if it is working is a great deal , The cable is realy simple . My kid could do it . The Headphone Cable will have a Shield and a Red and White (Maybe yellow) set of wires , The shield will be Ground , to the Case and Ground pin of the XLR Plug , the Red will be Right , The white will be Left ( The 1/8 " plug is known as Tip ,Ring, Sleeve or a TRS plug ) so Tip will be right , Ring will be left A very nice Headphone Extension Cable and a Neutrik XLR male from Guitar Center , and you will have a custom length Primo cable for the 822 at about 10 bucks

Regular MD wont load to the Mac , only HiMD mode .

Under the menus on the RH1 , find "Disc Mode " Put in in MD mode , then put a Blank MD (Standard ) into it The Rh1 will record in Both HiMD mode , and Standard , on a Regular MD . Sometimes I forget what is on what and end up sticking a Himd format into my regular MD's ......... They let me know real fast LOL.

You want a copy ? I can put it on either the R50 , or the RH1 in HI-md format let me know .

yeah my h2 is already in the repair shop after only 3 weeks , it really is just a toy , there are some nice things about it but they are overshadowed by other stuff , the Sony D50 coming out , has my attention , part of the review on it the guy compares the FR2le Fostex Mic pres with the Sony , Hereis what he said ,............. What does the PCM-D50 have that the FR2-LE doesn't? On paper, not much. In fact, the D50 doesn't even have XLR inputs or offer phantom power for external condenser mics. But here's why I'm leaning toward picking one up in November: It's compact, fits easily in the hand, and has excellent internal mics, making it great for grab and go recording. The FR2-LE has internal mics too, but they're the kind of mics you'd find on a third rate digital voice recorder. I think my PDA has a better mic. When I plugged a dynamic mic into the FR2-LE I had to crank up the gain all the way to get a decent record level. When I plugged the same mic into the PCM-D50, I had to turn the record volume down to 3 or 4 to keep from clipping. This little puppy has some powerful preamps. The PCM-D50 automatically detects when you've got an external mic plugged in and switches between the internal and external mic. I picked up the Zoom H4 earlier this year because it offered some of the same features as the PCM-D1 at a fraction of the price. I was on a budget and it seemed like a good buy. But here's why I'm thinking about upgrading to the PCM-D50. I haven't found a single external mic that sounds good with the H4. The preamps are way too noisy. When using the excellent internal mics on the H4, the unit is susceptible to handling noise. I detected almost no handling noise when using the PCM-D50. In order to save your track or create a new file on the H4, you have to stop your recording and start a new one, which causes a you to lose a few seconds of audio. The PCM-D50 lets you create new tracks on the fly. The PCM-D50 controls are super easy to use, and you can change record levels on the fly with a simple jog dial. On the H4, you have to go through a bunch of software menus which will result in handling noise if you're using the internal mics. The H4 has a cheap plastic feel, the PCM-D50 has a sturdy metal feel.

This part of the review , kills the H2 argument dead in its tracks . What does the PCM-D50 have that the FR2-LE doesn't? On paper, not much. In fact, the D50 doesn't even have XLR inputs or offer phantom power for external condenser mics. But here's why I'm leaning toward picking one up in November: It's compact, fits easily in the hand, and has excellent internal mics, making it great for grab and go recording.
