ozaustin Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I have a MZ NH700 and sometimes when I transfer music from computer to the HI MD disc I get dropouts in the music. Does anyone know if this is an issue with HiMD or SonicStage or is it me. I had a perfectly good component model in Australia and I left it behind due to voltage issues. Wish I hadn't, voltage transformers are SO CHEAP here.Any help or advice would be greatThanksBrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grf Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hi,I have experienced drop outs in a similar way to the one you describe. I put it down to poor writing of the data to the disk by the Hi Md laser. When the data is read back the high error rate causes the correction circuitry to mute the audio.I have got around this problem by deleting the faulty track and then re-recording it through the line in of the MD recorder. Why this works better I do not know. I thought it might be due to differences in the write speed in the two methods of laser action producing different resuts when the media is marginal on its write specification. The laser is used to heat (in a very short time) so this might be the reason but the main thing is it worked for me.grfHi I forgot to metion that I have also had failures in sonic stooge. I have changed the recorder (from RH1 to NH1) and the same disk was burnt successfully.I now have a favourite NH1 which seems to burn disks most reliably. Its all due to heating tolerances on marginal media I am sure .Best regardsGrf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stshores24 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Check out the thread on laser settings by Avrin; quite enlighting.Had to look for it. That thread is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgicante Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 All,Ive had my NH900 for a while and compiled my first Hi-MD over the course of a few weeks or so so never noticed the dropoff. However, I recently purchased 5 Hi-MDs from Minidisc Canada and spent the weekend filling one up through MDSimpleBurner. Dropoffs come in about half-way through the disc (burnt on Hi-LP). I guess only remedy is to delete and record again, making sure not too to do too many in a row for fear of overheating...Fun...Phil Gicante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
