Guest Anonymous Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 The latest FAQ's state that Hi-MD microphone-recordings can be uploaded at high-speed to Windows PCs via SOnic Stage. My question is - are these "real time" recordings made in analog via the mic-in connection ? Does it double up as a line-in connection as well ??? Does that mean existing analog recordings on existing md's can then be uploaded when inserted into the new Hi-MD machines & then downloaded again on to the new 1GB blanks ?

highlandsun Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I'm betting that uploading is only supported for HiMD ATRAC3plus recordings. Note that HiMD formatted discs have a FAT filesystem, so any PC program (e.g. Windows Explorer) can drag/drop an ATRAC3plus recording onto a PC. Since original MDs use a proprietary disc format (2306 bytes per sector or somesuch, instead of a data drive's 512 bytes per sector) I strongly doubt that any old MDs can be uploaded.

PDOG58 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I dont totally understand all the specs of Mini-Discs. And my question is this: WHen it comes to recording on a MD via the Mic In jack, how is that encoded? Are their only a few rates it can be recorded in or can all the Kbs levels be utilized?
