If you get the levels wrong, the result is far from satisfactory (too much hiss, or too much clipping!).'Twas ever thus with NetMD.NetMD is great for ripping to MD, but less good the other way round, as you have found out!Hope this helps ...

mckill Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hey Bassman, thanks 4 your help.Sorry if i SHOUTED but i'm very angry with Sony, i've bought the md JUST for recordings live acts, and you can imagine my reaction when i discovered that USB does not work from Md to PC. I' hope they'll fix that in the future, because it's a very stupid thing.Anyway the MD works great, and if i had a Table CD recorder, that would be perfect.thanks anyway!

raintheory Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 What kind of soundcard are you attempting to record via? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckill Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ehm.... it's a REALTEK 97 ( integrated on Motherboard! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Ehm.... it's a REALTEK 97 ( integrated on Motherboard! )You will most likely get better results with a soundcard that isn't integrated. That may be what is causing any unsightly hiss. Also be sure you are not plugged into the mic-in, as this will boost the signal (and hiss).Here is the soundcard that I purchased awhile ago to record from my NetMD portables: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...o=23680&CatId=0 . 7.1 Surround, also has digital/optical out. Not too bad for $24.99! I've had very good results with this card whilst recording analog from MD.EDIT: I definitely understand your frustration. I purchased a NetMD a few years ago for the same reasons and was very disappointed as well. I have since upgraded to HiMD which is a great improvement as far as recording and then uploading via USB. If you decide to go the HiMD route, keep in mind that at this time you are not able to upload recordings made on NetMD portables, only uploading of HiMD-made recordings is possible.
