1kyle Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Hi everybody --got a great re-furbed MDS jB980 MDLP / Net MD shelf unit.Question --I want to copy an old Minidisc I got at a Radio station (MD in SP mode) which contains a program made by a colleague who died a while ago --so obviously I can't get a re-run of the program. I can use the recorders Optical out to my Optical in on the PC using Creative Smart recorder.For the WAV file to be created I've suggested (on the PC) as the recording format --WAVe at 48,000 24-bit stereo.Is this as near as makes no difference to the SP on the original Minidisc or should I up the format to 96,000 @ 24 bit or even lower the rate to 48,000 or even 44,000 at 16 bit.I thought I understood some of this stuff but I'm confused now.I've discarded all the 8-bit options.Here's some of the other options the Software allows --Help what do I choose.48,000 @ 24 Bit -- Data rate 281 KB / sec96,000 @ 24 Bit 561 KB / sec44,000 @ 24 bit 258 KB / sec32,000 @ 24 Bit 187 KB / sec24,000 @ 24 Bit 140 KB / sec24,000 @ 16 Bit 93 KB / sec32,000 @ 16 Bit 125 KB / sec44,000 @ 16 bit 172 kb / sec48,000 @ 16 bit 187 kb / sec96,000 @ 16 bit 375 KB / secAny suggestions from this selection (others are possible --but I've discounted all the 8-bit settings.Cheers-K Edited June 17, 2005 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Use 44K at 16 bit, stereo. That is what both MD and CD use. That way you can burn it to CD later on without having to deal with up or down-sampling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NRen2k5 Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Just a note; your software is listing the sampling rates incorrectly.It's not 44,000Hz, it's 44,100Hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
