punknasty Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 hello again , thanks for your advice kurisu. the dr420 sounds perfect, its just on my research , it doesnt seem to have timer recording, which is pretty much essential to what i need. if im correct and it doesnt, is there a good alternative that does? with similar spec to the sharp model in all other respect? ive tried looking myself , but im a complete newbie and feel a little out of depth choosing without advice. im willing to pay a little (or quite a bit) more if needs be. thanks again.

KJ_Palmer Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 There aren't any MD portables recorders with a timed-recording facility. You would have to invest in a bookshelf system or a full-sized deck. The nearest equivalent to the DR420 spec-wise would probably be the Sharp SD-CX9, but you might have to order direct from Japan for this.

punknasty Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks for the advice . I got the DR420 and its great, everything i wanted. My only small gripe is with the Beatjam software, which seems to assume that i'm a criminal for a start. I guess that OpenMg is a Sharp / Beatjam only format and that this program is the only one you can use?? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Actually, you can use Sonicstage with this unit, but you'd have to use 1.5 instead of 2.0.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punknasty Posted April 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Is there anywhere i can download Sonicstage? Ive been searching around and it is appears to be a Sony product, so i guess you cant even buy it on its own, it just comes as part of the package with Sony MD units? But i guessed wrong before so hopefully im wrong again! If there is a free download out there somewhere please let me know! Thanks for your help people, its much appreciated.
