dmiller91 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I still use my MD for live music recording... is there something newer out there that is economical? I had a guy tell me ipod was ready the other day, but I can't find anything on their website. We aren't talking radio recording here...My MD is starting to look like it's been dropped one too many times.... is there anything that replaces it (Yet)?

bobt Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Stick with MD, it's the only viable alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1ghtyf1ve Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Fiddled with the new video iPod at Fry's the other day. Recording is really not supported (and why should it be). Apple knows better than to interfere with the content industry racket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi-MD is still the most economical hi-fi recording around. It also has nice things like level controls and track marking. After using regular MD, you are in for a treat: uploading that actually works. Since you have an old MD player and might conceivably want to record something you can play back on it, you need first-generation Hi-MD. (Trade-off: If you record in old MD formats then you can't upload. If you record in the newer uploadable Hi-MD formats then you can't play back on your old MD.) Second-gen MD (the RH units) eliminated live recording in SP, LP2 and LP4. Take a look at some of the first-generation MD prices at Minidisc Australia. http://www.minidisc.com.au/default.php?cPa...7ab87aa02059527NH700 is really all you need. Even with incredibly expensive shipping to the US, these are bargains--$149 Australian = $109 US. Install Sonic Stage 3.3, not the old version that comes in the package with the CD.

AMPlitude Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 stick to md for recording, im sure even if apple did decide to work on recording on the ipod, there would be bugs, a lot of them until say the second generation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Or if you can record, you won't be able to upload. Apple is smarter than just opening a can of worms and risk the anger of the companies that supply them with (crappy) music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
