MB Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi, This is probably been asked a lot of times, so except my apologies. I have a few questions. I used to have a Sony minidisc recorder, which I used for fieldrecordings, but it fell and was smashed beyond repair. I have been looking for a new one, could you please give me some advice which types (and brands?) are good for fieldrecordings (mostly ambient sound recordings like trains, sea, rain, machines etc.) ? It has to have a good microphone input. I heard that the 'new' minidisc recorders with USB can not transfer recorded data to the computer, only from the computer to the minidisc recorder itself. Is this true? I know that sound can be transfered digitaly via the opitical cable to computer, but USB would be better. Is there a recorder that can transfer sound from the recorder to the PC via USB? Thanks in advance. Best wishes, David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Welcome, MB. :happy: Get a Hi-MD unit; they can record on 1 gigabyte discs and upload digitally through USB. They're priced around the same as higher-end NetMD units.. Perhaps you should look into the NH800 or the NH900? Seems like a good recommendation for this scenario.. p.s. Moving this to the relevant forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for your reply and advice. I will certainly look into the NH800 and the NH900. Best wishes, MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
