KJ_Palmer Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 No, sorry. Stupidly Sony got rid of the 'legacy' formats for recording on the 2nd generation Hi-MD recorders, including mono mode. You can still record using a mono mic, but you'll need to use a mono-stereo adapter if you want the sound in both ears... (or just use a stereo mic)...

jay209 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 that's very odd... i was hoping to get a mono recorder to save space while getting the usb capabilities.thank you. do you know if the nh1 has mono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yes, the NH1 has mono recording, as does the NH900 and 700. Note that you can only use old style (80/74/60 minute) discs for mono or the other 'legacy' formats (SP or LP2/4) - not the 1GB discs.Oh.. and you cant upload via usb with mono.. that's the whole point, the legacy formats aren't fully supported any more.. you may as well use Hi-LP to save space - doesn't really have to be mono, does it...?

jay209 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) i guess not. it's just that i don't know how to mix one channel to two speakers. i have an old sharp md-mt15. and that's how i've known how to record. would i need a new mic with the rh10? or can i use the existing one i have, and push the left channel to both?basically i'm looking for an MD that'll upload my recordings and play to both channels. the md-mt15 can only send real time sound to my computer. i'm looking for something that'll upload a bit faster. i've considered the rh10 'cause there's that software on the main page.

greenmachine Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 What you need is a mono to stereo adaptor if your microphone sends out a signal only to one channel (usually the left). Such adapter won't be a replacement for a stereo mic, but sends the mono signal to both channels equally. There must be some info somwhere around here for such an adaptor, i just don't remember where.If you plan to record from a distance, a real stereo mic is the way to go for more realistic results.

greenmachine Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 They're backwards compatible in reading, but can't write the old modes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
