Strungup Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Well the MD4S has arrived , I sat for 20 minutes , Checking ins/outs , used a Cheap ECM360 Sony mic on a Balanced Cable (XLRto XLR) and I must say the Mic pres are very nice in this machine , the EQ is very musical the Bass well defined and not overly boomy , My UDU drum sounded quite good , my Guitar was fat and clear , adding a bit of Mid on the EQ really brought out the presence . The Noise leve of the Mic in at Absolute Mic setting was suprisingly good , back off just a bit on the gain pot and raise the fader , practically no noise at all . I can see having a great deal of fun with this machine , I will have to replace a few pots as ther are a bit worn out and that is the only source of noise ( Scratchy , contacts , ) but what can you expect from a Machine that is subjected to Japanese weather , and as old as it is . The problems it has are fixable . The sound quality exellent . Just wish it had digital out , that would be awesome. I played a VERY old Al Di Meola MD in it and added a little EQ , ......Man what a Difference , the old recording was a bit muddy to begin with , but the EQ on the MD4s is Very sweet , and the frequency divisions are right in the pocket . Yamaha MD4S , I will give it 4.5 out of 5 stars Detractions are , It isnt HiMD , and it doesnt have Optical out , ....If it had those two things , I would sell a buttload of my gear because I wouldnt want for anything else.

Strungup Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Why don't you add an optical out yourself?How ? Old analouge circuitry I understand , but Digital I dont yet , and no time to learn , If you know of a link to show me how shoot it at me.Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strungup Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I think the only thing I wanna do to it is replace the pots so I get clean signal thru it . It really is a great sounding piece , I am quite suprised at it . Wishing I would have had it a long time ago . Would have saved me a ton of money on other gear. No Phantom power , but very clean pre's . next week or week after , I will try to post something from it .( Wife is REALLY after me to finish the kitchen .)

Strungup Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 i've been married THREE times;; believe me;; they don't believe it;; they will only delay the respose and USE IT as fuel to get something THEY WANT later..!!all wives and "X's" are programed to automatically "not to Believe";; and all my wives were Blonde;; and believe me;; they are not stupid;; they just had more fun at my expense..Ray my wife is Japanese , and you are speaking where you ought not , plus your a bit egocentric so it would be understandable where you would have dissagreement with them . I am not an egocentric , maybe a bit eccentric , but always fair . Not everyone revolves around your pattern of thought ,Here I will quote a Scripture , take it for what you will " He that compares himself ....with himself , has no understanding " To say that a woman is programmed is somewhat offensive to me , some of my BEST freinds have been women , and they are as human as you .
