Soapm Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I got my NH900 today and showed it to the pastor of our Church. He is also a great musician and has a song he wrote and mastered on a zip disc. He wants me to take and put it on a CD. What is my best choice to get minimum loss in quality?

I don't have a zip drive on my puter. My plan was to copy fromm his zip drive to my minidisc then to my puter then onto CD. Unless someone has a better suggestion.

dex Otaku Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 If he has USB, yes - that should work.Make sure you take the Sony CD with you though - if he has windows98 you need the drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His zip drive is part of his electrical piano. The line in jack would be perfect except for that copywrite protection Sony put on it. Can I jack it into the mic jack and get around that?

Syrius Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 (edited) This is what you do:Copy from the Keyboard to the HiMD, using line in. I suggest you use PCM or at least HiSP mode if you want quality. ( Or if it has a digital optical out, the better). Upload to your computer. ( Remember that SS is a gamble, so you may want to record using realtime techniques found in other posts in the forum.) Use Marcnet's Hi-MD renderer and redeem that file from the taint of Sony's Draconian Retrograde Method.Burn to CD. Live a healthy and prosperous life. One note, though. If the keyboard saves the file as a midi, or data sequence rather than an actual stream of a popular audio format (WAV, WM, MP3, etc), you CANNOT create an audio CD by copying the data from the zip to your computer.. Why? Because that would be the equivalent of scanning the sheet music from a symphony, burning that image file to CD, and expecting a CD player to play the symphony. Not possible.

Soapm Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) I'll try this over the week end. Somewhere I read that you can make a CD from line in recordings. Had to do with copywrite protection. Teach me not to believe everything I read on the net... Thanks for all the help guys!
