We've been having a discussion in the minidisk forum (http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?postid=93638#post93638) about when to use the mic gains. We all have different ideas so I decided to enlist the help of the mixing masters. Here's the original message posted by The Green...

Anyone know how to get in to/use the MD8's service mode? There's gatta be a way. I've written yamaha, and am awaiting response... -Nilbog

OKay, so I have these miniature electret condenser cardioid microphones that I was trying to turn into a small field mic I could use. They're goosneck mics (http://www.astatic.com/commercial/827.htm) you can see them there. So I seperated the mic from the goosneck and the XLR connection and...

I got me a little mindisc recorder and I'm wondering what mics to use for it. I want to record shows and such (with permission, of course). I'll need the mics with a 1/8th connection compatible with the plug in power on my minidisc recorder. I was looking at the soundprofessionals mics...

I'm using an effects unit (behringer virutalizer) on my aux i/o's. I'm wondering how you can record ONLY the effect, rather than the effect mixed with the original, dry signal. Example, I want to record my voice w/ pitch shift, but when I try, even if I turn the returns all the way up, it's...

Okay, I bought a 14" Zildjian ZBT crash about 20 minutes ago. After hitting it for about 2 seconds, it popped (parts of it went inside out, I dont know what you call that). Did I get a defective crash, or do these suck and only last 5 minutes? -Nilbog

Okay, I'm getting sick of my mic cables going bad. I'm using my MD8's phantom power for my overhead drum mic. My cable will only last a short while before I start getting REALLY bad staticy sounds coming from it, and that cable goes bad. It only happens on my phatom powered mic. Any ideas...

Well, I just ordered a SHARP MD-MS722 (see it here: http://www.minidisco.com/minispecs/sharp722.html) recorder from minidisco.com, they were having a sale. I'm hoping to use it for making recordings of live shows (with permission, of course. Has anyone else tried this? I also want to record...

What's the best way to hook up my fx uint (behringer virtualizer) to my MD8? The basic probelm is I dont know if the aux outs are stereo, or the aux in's on my unit are stereo, or how all that works. Also, if anyone has used the unit, how do you use the vocoder?? -Nilbog

I'm looking into buying a new fx unit. I was looking at the s100, but it seems kind cheapy (havent heard it yet, though). I did find a used Digitech 256xl for $99. Any other ideas? Has anyone used either of those units? I'm looking for something in the sub $200 range. Obviously reverb is...

PLease listen to this and tell me what you think. It's not finished yet. I still have a clean guitar sound, organ, and vocals to add, but I wanted to see what you guys all thought. If you don't have anything nice to say, PLEASE give me some constructive critisism. A lot of people are going...

Whats a good program for ripping cda files off a regular cd? I couldnt see anyway to do it in sound forge (maybe theres a plugin?). Anyway, the idea is NOT to go through my soundcard, so I dont want to just record whats coming out of my speakers going back in...or...however that works. Any...

I was looking into buying a philips cd recorder. I noticed in the specs, they all have 1 bit analog to digital converters. Isnt that bad? -Nilbog

I was thinking of getting a standalone cd recorder, but the cheapest one I can find is about $300, so I figure maybe it would be cheaper to get a decent sound card. My question is, what will it take to make my computer mix-down worthy. The only one I have available for my studio is a pentium...

What two (or more) styles of music would you like to hear in one piece of music? I.E. Metal to Jazz to Raggae to Childrens, etc.

I just bought a used guitar amp, and shoved in behind it was this really weird FX box. It says its a reverb unit. The top of it is open, and it looks like your supposed to mount it on something. It's got all these crazy springs and plates inside of it and has one rca in, and one rca out. I...

I am currently mixing down to my computer via the line input on my soundcard. The soundcard is a cheapy PCI 16 bit card that came with the computer. From there I'm buring CD's, MP3's...whatever... Anyway, to the best of my understanding, I think ALL soundcards are going to degarde the sound...

How do I get a really Heavy, full sounding (distortion) guitar. I'm Micing my amp with an SM57, and adding a little Reverb and Delat with an ART FX1 box. My sound is just flat and weak sounding. Any ideas? -Nilbog

Can you only use the inserts for effects on 1 and 2, or can you apply them to any of the tracks? If so, how? -Nilbog

Hey, I'm rewiring a TRS connection to the end of some old headphones. The wires coming out are White, Black, and Green. Does anyone know which is Tip, Ring, and Sleeve? Thanks in advance _nilbog
