casiokorg Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I have a MZ-RH10. if i was to record an album, it will notice the end of a song and start a new track right? it should do the same thing with optical too correct?

goodsound12 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm not sure if you are reffering to an LP or a CD. If you are talking about an LP record, recorded directly to your RH10 from a turntable, or more correctly from the outputs of your phono pre, then I would have to say no the RH10 will not automatically insert a track mark between songs. Truth be told I have never attempted this, so I could be wrong. Now if you are transferring the LP recorded from your computer and you manualy inserted track indicators when you first performed the needle drop, then those track markers should transfer when porting the file to your RH10. As far as recording a CD with an optical connection directly from a CD transport/player, then yes the vast majority of the time the track markers, which are digitally encoded in the CD, will be transferred to your MD recorder while recording. Even if transferring directly from CD in analogue, for the most part the RH10 will recognize and insert track marks betwween songs, but I have had issues with certain CD's where the tracks blend together or where there is a very short pause between tracks and no track marks were created between these songs when recording from the analoguen outputs of a disc player. In this situation, or in the case of recording directly from the phono outputs, you will have to manually ad track marks. Refer to your owners manual for instructions on how to do this. Hopefully this answers your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona702 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I agree...The background noise or "crackle" of an LP prevents the auto track marks to be inserted on the recording MD. I also have an RH10 and I find it does a pretty good job of inserting the track marks on a digital cd copy, even analog for the most part. I have recorded a brand new record before, and it recognized a few track marks..but mostly you will have to go back manually and insert them. A little tip/trick...If you didn't already know: On the RH10 it is painstaking to fast forward through the song to get to the end to split the track...mainly it takes a while. However, if you hit pause and then fast-forward...it flies through the track at lightning speed! (no sound monitoring though). It took me a while to discover this, and I did so by mistake. Needless to say I was thrilled to have found this out. If you didn't know that the unit would do this, then it will save you a lot of time if you were fast-forwarding the "regular" way. Hope I could help, Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I could help, Sean Lo, Most most minidisc decks do this and yes it is convienent if you know roughly the time when you will want to stop FFwding.

casiokorg Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 the main problem i'm having is when i try to make a mix via itunes. I use 3.5 optical out via macbook pro to my hi-md. it never notices track splits in iTunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 There's no guarantee of a signal drop with a digital signal. Some devices "artificially" generate one, some do not. Users complain in each case - the gapless afficionados want the signal to stay, the track dividers want the drop in signal to trigger a mark. For sure, I know Sony's PCLK-MN10 *does* generate a real signal drop. Likewise my bus-based sound card (Terratec) does not. Hope this helps. Sean: I agree with you about the two-speed FF feature. It took the longest time for me to figure out, at the end of which I had, like so many others I suspect, worn out the jog lever on my MZ-RH1 by FF-ing during audible playback.

trotter Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Have people got suggestions on what I could set my recording deck to with different sources for auto track split? LS -14db is what i have it set for at the moment for radio recording. How about Vinyl recording? and CD recording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I give a solution for "gap afficionados" during recording in real time from a PC : use the plugin Wincue for Winamp or Post-track silence for foobar2000. That work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastbayarb Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 If I play back from my PC (foobar2000 with FLAC files) to record on my mini disc recorder (MDS-JB930) through digital (optical/toslink) cable, will the resulting mini disc have track markers for each FLAC song file?

PhilippeC Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 As I say, please use the Post-track silence DSP plugin for foobar2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastbayarb Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 What about for gap less playback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
