eyedoc82 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Does anyone know if the new Sony HI-MD recorders will allow on-the-fly adjustment of the recording level? I currently have a Sharp minidisc unit and chose it over the Sony models because of this capability. Has Sony finally addressed this limitation?

bhangraman Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 It works in the same way as the latest Net MD's. You can change the recording levels to Manual while the unit is paused in recording mode, then set the volume. In terms of usability, it's not so good for manual recording as the Sharps.

Leland Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I'm not sure you are describing it properly. My N10 has the ability to change recording levels on the fly during recording without being in pause or record pause. I have not used Sharp, but the newer Sony units can do this. It was a deliberate change to the functionality. If you are listening to headphones while recording to monitor your efforts, you can even hear the increase/decrease in the volume when changing record levels on the fly. You do have to select manual record mode before you begin recording, but after that you can change the levels on the fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhangraman Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 The volume control while recording controls the volume of playback (monitoring). You have to pause the record to change recording volume levels, and the player reverts to AGC when you press stop. It's the same on the N10.
