Boonis Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hello, I'm new to the forum and I have a question to pose:I'm a musician and I currently own a Net MD MZ-N707. I love the recording quality it provides me, but I would really like to put my original recordings on my computer (we all regretably know that Net MD players can't do that). I recently discovered the hi-md players (which allow you to bring files from the MD player to the computer) and really want one. However, I have limited funds and can't shell out $350 for a new one, let alone $180 for a used/damaged one.I recently saw some MZ-NH600D's selling for much less. These are Hi-MD capable and can transfer data to and from the recorder to the computer...My problem with that unit is there's no microphone jack!! That's really the one feature I need for what I do. I've thought about it for a while and came up with this...Would it be possible for me to:1) Record myself using my MZ-N707 on a regular 74 or 80 minute disc, then...2) Take that disc and the original material on it over to the MZ-600D (as the Hi-MD's are backwards compatable) and then3) Use the MZ-600D to transfer my original recordings onto my computer?I know it sounds convoluted and like way too much work, but i'm broke! and I need a solution! So if anyone cares to comment on this, please help me out! Will it work?!?--Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonis Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 only hi-md recordings can be uploaded to the computer on that model. you need an rh1 to do what you want.Shoot...So it looks like I will have to by a whole new unit? Do I really need to buy an rh1? That's one of the newest players! The older model players like the MZ-NH700 can take original recordings and transfer them to the computer right?I'm just really bummed...when I bought the Net MD I was misled into thinking it could transfer my original recordings.--Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonis Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 you can still transfer them analog in real time.Really?Now, are you saying I can transfer them analog in real time with my MZ-N707? Just the regular Net MD player I already own? If so, how would I do something like that? Is there somewhere you could refer me to, or would it be easy for you to explain? I really appreciate all your help! If I didn't have to buy another unit and could transfer my files using my n707 that would be awesome!!!--Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need a third party sound program like audacity or any of Marcs renderers.If you want to eliminate this process afterword get an NH-700,800, or 900, and do your recordings on them, then you can digatally upload your NEW recordings, for the rest it's either real time or RH1,Good luck,Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Audacity , it is a FREE recording program W/ Level meters so you can set it up to get very good audio from any source.http://audacity.sourceforge.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
