rober_bilbao Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hello there,First of all, sorry because my question may sound too silly and my poor English will not help either.I have just purchase a Sony MZ-RH710. I got a band and I'd like to use it to record our rehearsals.After recording the songs with my minidiscs, I would like to copy my songs in a music Cd to give copies to the rest of the band mebers. It seems the HI-MD format do not allow me to do this with the SonicStage program which is inluded in the MiniDisc package. The instructions just say this format can not be copied in a music Cd (?). I would really appreciate any help with this topic.I would also appreciate any suggestions/tricks about recording with this model.Thank you very much in advance.

A440 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) The RH710 has line-in, not mic-in, so you are going to have to record from your mixer or other amplified source. http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=7989What are you trying to copy now that says "format cannot be copied to CD"?

rober_bilbao Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Thank you A440.As you'll surely notice I do not too much about this devices. I am an old school recorder (analogue!), with no experience in digital recording. I was just told to buy one of this MiniDiscs as it seems a good thing to record fast and easy with an acceptable quality. Unfortunately, the shop assistant didn't know too much about this machines and he recomend me to buy this one. I'm still in time to change it. Could you or anyone recommend me any other model?. I just want it to record our rehearsals with a microphone and afterwards, to tranfer it into a Cd to pass it to the other band's members. I'll take a look to the Sony page too.Thanks in advance.Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 You should get either the MZ-RH910 or the MZ-RH10. They both have microphone inputs. The RH10 has a nicer display than the RH910, but they're the same otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 The other Hi-MD models for your recording purposes are the MZ-NH700, MZ-NHF800 and MZ-NH900. Depending on what's available where you are, any of those models and the two RH*** models mentioned above will do your job. Don't get: MZ-NH1 (unconventional battery and connectors), MZ-NH600 or MZ-NH600D (no mic-in). The recording and uploading capability is basically the same for all of these recorders. The MZ-NH900 has digital pitch control, which may be useful for you as a musician--or not. Once you have the recorder, take a look at some of the Live Recording FAQ at the top of this thread. You'll need a microphone and either an attenuator (see the thread) or a battery box, and then you will be making surprisingly high-quality recordings.

A440 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 No link necessary. Upload the files from the Hi-MD with SonicStage. They go into My Library, probably with a date stamp. To see the most recently imported files click on the Date Imported heading and My Library will arrange by date. Once you have the file in My Library, highlight it, click Tools and you'll find Save in .wav . Save it someplace you can find it, and then burn it to a CD. The only exception is if you have made an optical recording. Then SonicStage won't convert and you have to use HiMDRenderer, which you can find under Programs in Downloads.
