Sony MZ-RH1

[heathenmagic]

Hello there,

I appreciate any help from anybody here. Recently purchased MZ-NHF800, my second unit after a Sharp MD-MT80. Lol. I am very pleased with this unit, it is has really cracking features.

I needed to get a unit as I am one of many people waiting for the MZ-RH1 in the UK. Just two questions:-

1. I have made a start making some discs from cds. Would I benefit from rerecording them on the MZ-RH1 when it arrives. Is there a difference in recording quality using Sonicstage and Simple Burner between these two models?

2. What sound options can I look forward to on the MZ-RH1? The MZ-NHF800 has equlaizer settings, with two custom settings, and surround sound settings. It would have been nice to be able to select equalizer and surround at once, but it only lets you have one sound option set at a time. I know there is a Digital Amp on the RH1.

Thanks for your time!

1. Well there could be depending on what recorder you're using and which version of ATRAC it has, you could definately hold a little more music on your disc using Hi-MD mode and uploading in Hi-SP. I dont think there's any difference in quality between the two programs, although I REALLY would like to have the option to encode at High Quality like the ATRAC plugin for Sound Forge does (it does actually make a difference).

2. Nope nothing new here, can only use 1 dsp at a time and that includes the dynamic normaliser, which kinda annoys me cause iI really need to use EQ and have that feautre going. So I manually replaygain every single track before I import it into sonicstage and then transfer it to my MD, so now I have every single track on my MD at roughly the same volume and I can use the EQ as well.

Please, would you explain to me what SOUND FORGE is for?

Can it be a substitute of SS?

1)Sound Forge is a sound editor made by Sony with Atrac support (and Google is your friend).

2)For encoding purpose, likely.

For transfer purpose, no.
