pmvn Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 There is no mono option on the MZ-NH1, I know mono recordings will become a left-channel recording, will it occupy the same space as a stereo recording?Thanks,Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Yes, the right channel will just be empty/contain static. You can record in mono SP in NetMD mode on a standard minidisc, though, which will take up half the space of SP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 The result of recording in HiSP and HiLP [64] ATRAC3plus modes in mono is that you should basically get the full bitrate's encoding bandwidth dedicated to the one channel that is used. i.e. if you record a mono signal in HiSP, it should be using the full 256kbps bandwidth for the one channel, rather than splitting it between two.Since HiSP and HiLP, as with ATRAC3's LP2, are joint-stereo [M/S stereo] encoding formats, having a single channel active or both channels active with identical signals mean that the full encoding bitrate should be dedicated to recording the one signal.

dex Otaku Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Yes, it should be the quality that the full bitrate on a single channel can provide, which should be better than "normal" [i.e. with stereo recordings].MD and HiMD are constant-bitrate media. Among other things, constant bitrate and a fixed packet time-length [the time duration of each chunk of sound in ATRAC] are what make editing and gapless playback possible.
