I have just bought the Sony MZ-NH900.I am a singer and work on a ship.. and want to record my own performances and backing tracks.It's a simple and possibly silly questionIf my friend has a backing track on minidisc can I take their minidisc and record it onto my computer via my recorder?Also any advice on a very cheap microphone for recording live performance?Many many thanks in advance...

Pigsygammon Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 So it was obviously a stupid question. Or perhaps too difficult to answer.Next time maybe I should title it I know where to get 1gb discs for £2.50 and everyone would jump in.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 you cannot transfer recordings made on non-HiMD discs to the computer digitally. That is unless the old MD is formatted in HiMD mode.For netMD discs the only way to transfer the audio to your PC would be via an analogue connection between your MDs headphone jack and your PC line in jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can record your own performances with your NH900; good places to look for mics are http://www.reactivesounds.com and http://www.soundprofessionals.com . There are many threads about mic recommendations in the recording forum.You would also benefit from browsing the HiMD FAQs/essential info forum, a subforum of the HiMD forum, for information about uploading your recordings and such.Assuming that it is an actual MD and not a HiMD-formatted disc from a newer recorder like your own, copying your friend's MD to your computer can be done by analogue means. There are threads in the netMD/MDLP forum pertaining to this. So it was obviously a stupid question. Or perhaps too difficult to answer.This forum is maintained by volunteers. Expecting an answer within 8 hours of your post is unreasonable. Your patience would be appreciated.Cheers,d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
