rsnel Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi,I hope someone can help meA few days ago my standard mp3 player was crunched by my bycicle (that's not funny)I am now looking for a good replacement, en think MiniDisc is a good one.I want to use MiniDisc in a very special manner, but I do not know is it is possible.I have a nice (semi pro) camcorder wich I will use to film a local play/musicalI also use a seperate microphone on my camcorder for even a bit better sound.I want to use my camcorder to capture the video and audio.I also want to record the sound of the soundmix instatallation, because the players are wearing microphones, and that is where I want to use MiniDisc.I want to record the direct sound of the microphones on mindisc.On my PC I wil capture the image and sound of my camcorder, and I want to mix the sound with the direct sound of the microphones on my minidsc, and mix it.I have done this with my MP3 player wich had a line in, but when I startet mixing the sound on my PC, I noticed a lot of synchronisation problems.After 120 secons the sound recorded with my camcorder and MP3player was NOT synchron any more.I want to know if I use MiniDisc, if this solves my problem.Can minidisc record sound as synchron as with my (semi prof) camcorder, so I can mix the sound on my PC without synchronisation problems?I hope you can help meReinald Snel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 You can definitely record line-in to a minidisc recorder. Get a Hi-MD unit since Hi-MD will upload to your PC: either MZ-NH700 or MZ-RH1. Minidisc should give you a good, accurate recording, and with PCM quality (probably better than your mp3 player). If you can get an optical-out from the soundboard, even better. Whether it will stay in sync with your camcorder is something you can only answer by experiment--for all you know, there may be errors in the camcorder too.

A440 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 It is a bit difficult.Just to buy a minidisc, and HOPE it will work.Soundprofessionals has a 30-day guarantee, as long as you keep all the packing materials and don't mess up the unit. So you could actually try it for the price of shipping. http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...ategory/returnsYou might also call them up first and ask about the sync question, since they're familiar with a lot of different equipment.
