Wallypike69 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 When recording my bands shows and practices. I noticed there is a delay when stopping it to start a new track to record. Would you recommmend keep it recording for the whole show ( no stops) . Then use some software to edit and seperate it into tracks? If so what would you use? If not how do I get a quality recording of a whole show? We dont just play we etertain .. ie Interact with the audenice between songs , etc...Any help is greatly appreciative?

A440 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 When you push Stop, it's saving your recording, like pushing the Save button in a word processor. That's why the delay. Instead of pushing Stop, just push the Track button. It will make a track mark without interrupting the recording, and is one of the great things about the whole MD format.Or use Pause if you don't want to record something, which will also start a new track when you un-Pause. Then, at the end of the session, press Stop. Make sure you use a fresh battery for each session, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shermy Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hey Wallypike69,Another reason you don't want to use stop to make tracks is the fact that it wipes out any settings you may have had when you initially started recording. I found this out the hard way.I was making a 4 hour recording of a concert I was performing in and wanted to save battery life. I had the recorder set up using manual recording levels (rather than the default AGC). When I stopped the recording between sets and started it up again, it switched to the default AGC. This wouldn't have been a big deal if the dynamic range of the performance wasn't so vast. However, since it was, all the soft passages were louder and all the loud passages were softer. You can also tell when the AGC kicks in. 3 1/2 hours of a 4 hour concert down the drain in my book.I have recorded a 4 hour concert since this without pressing stop and the results were amazing. Also, the battery indicator only went down two bars.Just curious, what kind of recording rig do you have?Happy Recording!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shermy Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I've got the Microphone Madness Combination Madness Pak MM-COMBO-2. It's their MM-MCSM-4 Deluxe Stereo Cardioids and MM-EBM-1 Battery Box. I love the set up!! Of course, it's pretty much all I know - that is...nothing to compare them to.
