joeyniji Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I recently got back online and i think im ready to take the next step in MDs. I have been reading a bunch about HI-MD. is it true i can upload my recordings? can i upload my old recordings that i recorded on my ancient MD or does it have to be recorded in HI-MD? also with the new HI-MDs can i still record in the standard (PCM format i think thats the name?) and in turn will i be able to upload those recordings? about uploading....how long does it generally take? is it like uploading a file or is it in realtime?

Sparky191 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 You can up load old SP recordings on a RH1 only. You can't upload NetMD transfers. All HiMD's can upload their recordings, PCM, HiSP, HiLP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwakrz Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) Ok,Model RH1 can upload any MD / Hi-MD recording (thats Hi-SP, Hi-LP, PCM, SP, LP2 and LP4) from a disc that you reorded via optical, Line-in or Mic-in even if these were recorded by another MD / Hi-MD unit. It cannot upload items recorded via USB onto a disc (e.g. Items put onto a disc with sonicstage etc).Other Hi-MD units (e.g. RH10, NH1 etc) can upload Hi-MD recordings done in PCM, Hi-SP or Hi-LP only. They cannot upload any MD recordings (e.g. SP, LP2 or LP4)MD units cannot upload recordings.All units can copy to a PC in real time (using an audio lead to your soundcard) but I gather from your post that this is something you may wish to avoid.Upload speeds via USB are faster than real time but the actual speed depends on the recording format. The more compressed the original format the faster it uploads (because there is less data) but the worse the quality. The quality required however depends on your needes, I used Hi-LP which is the highest compression for my lecture recordings purely because they did not need clarity as I only needed to understand what was being said.

A440 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 If you have a lot of old MD recordings, get the MZ-RH1. It's the only choice for uploading older material. With Hi-MD, I generally use Hi-LP for speech, Hi-SP for music and PCM if I think it's going to be amazing music. The only reason to record in the older formats, which the RH1 can do, would be to play them back on your older unit. Upload time will depend on your computer speed and how fast it can crunch the data. Still, it will always be some fraction of realtime.
