Guest Anonymous Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Hi Everyone. Hey, I'd like to buy a minidisc recorder for recording live music. I want to be able to seperate the instruments sounds according to the side they are being played on when I play the recording back. (left right). What is that feature called, and do I need a certain type of a microphone for this? I am also trying to find out what the functions of "Jog-dial, Optical-Output, Shock-Time, and Depth" are. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVHShawn Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 The separation of the two sides is called stereo recording, and you need either a stereo mic or a binaural mic. the stereo mic will sound like a regular unmastered song on a tape or CD depending on the mic quality; and, the binaural mic will sounds will sound like something your actual ears hear due to their placement( about the distance between your ears). The jog dial is a wheel on the side of the unit used to scroll up and down and select items, very handy. The optical output is a jack that uses fiber optic cables for less quality drop in sound quality, most optical jacks also accept regular plugs except the toslink jacks which must have an optical cable to be used. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by depth, but shock time is probably refering to the anti-skip time on the unit, i.e. Sony's G-shock protection.
