Leandro Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I've got an Sony MZ-R55 player, and the mechanical noise it emits at times can be quite loud. The MZ-R55 is a pretty old MD player though (I think it first came out back in 1999), and I'm assuming in the five or six years afterwards, the portable players got a lot quieter. Can someone out there recommend a portable MD player that has mechanical sounds that are not obtrusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 As long as you have your mics away from the unit, you shouldn't have problems with any modern recorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, when you record a track at the end of an MD and move it to track 1. When the minidisc player gets near the end of this new track 1, it has to move the disc reader to the start of the disc to play track 2, because track 1 is in fact at the end of the disc. You know what I mean? It's that noise that I want to reduce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
