smilingcrow Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 If I format a standard disc in HiMD mode and record from an analogue source, can I still transfer the data to a PC using the Sonic Stage/Total Recorder method or the custom software hack that I’ve read about on the forum? I assume that I can, but after years of working with technology I find it safe to assume nothing. Because of the limited capacity of discs formatted in that way I would be recording in Hi-SP mode. I’ll move up to PCM if needed when HiMD discs are more available. I ask because I want to buy an MZ-NH700 in the UK, but notice that HiMD discs are not available through normal channels yet and I don’t fancy the silly money that eBay merchants are asking. Reading the forums it seems unclear whether UK machines are shipping with a disc, so before I buy one, I want to make sure I can do something useful with it with standard discs.

A440 Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 In a word, yes. The crucial element is that the disc be formatted for Hi-MD. I've done the HiMDRender transfer from a standard disc formatted as Hi-SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
