Snowplough Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I have just read my way through a lot of the posts on this site dealing with using my nice shiny new Sony MZ-N707 MD recorder. I bought this for 2 reasons, Sony... a name you can trust and are a respected and also because later this year I am going to the Reading Festival and the 3 day Imola festival in Italy. Both feature Metallica and as I collect their bootlegs (as well as loads of others) I thought I would chance my arm recording them. Am I right in thinking that even if I manage to get a decent recording I can't upload them to my ftp server? If I can do I use the Sony Open software that came with my md or do I need to get other software? This brings me to the other million questions:Do I go with Binaural mics? do I need bass roll off? I know you have all been asked these questions for a lifetime but please excuse the newbie-ness I am hoping to go to a couple of "local" cover bands and try out with the info recieved from here. Thanks and Hi everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 I'll inform you about uploading, because that's all I can really give you good advice about. You'll need to go to radio shack and get a male to male stereo cable. They are pretty inexpensive; 7-8 bucks at the most. Then, check out this very informative site: http://www.minidisc.org/netmd_analog_uploading.html Analog recording isn't as good as digital recording, but once you have your volume(s) set right, it'll be gravy. I promise. later k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 My opinion: You'll definitely need a battery box. With the Sony, you should either get the battery box with level controls, or get a battery box with an attenuating cable (I believe core sounds sells the cables). For uploading to your FTP site, you'll need a program that can record your bootleg. You may either use the line in input on your soundcard, or possibly an optical link (found on some better sound cards). Once you've recorded the boot as a .wav file, you'll need to transfer it over to an .mp3 file. For microphones, I'd recommend binaurals, because they're easier to get a "good sound" when compared to the cardioids. I recommend checking out either core sounds or soundprofessionals for additional advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
