    critique my lyrics please :)

    my main bugbear with lyrics is if you can easily guess the rhyming word way before it's actually been said, i've just copied your last verse for example... All the feelings ive held inside The times I wished I could be by your <??> I'd give anything just to hold you tight Because without you...

    bit question

    (i must be going through my invisible period!!) the current Hi-MD minidisc recorders (albeit not multi-track machines) can record without compressing any audio They can use a linear PCM setting, which is a lossless WAV format (44.1Khz/16 bit stereo, CD Quality)

    bit question

    Hi-MD minidiscs can record un-compressed 44.1Khz/16-bit audio (CD Quality) And about 90 minutes of it on a Gigadisc. (maybe if i just keep on repeating myself the message will get through :p )

    Hi-MD portable recording rig suggestions

    Fair enough, just with our set-up everything goes through the mixer and we have the main mix for room output and use the monitor mix for recording straight to the disc. It is a pain to set the monitor mix just right as you don't know what you got till you play it back, but once the settings are...

    Hi-MD portable recording rig suggestions

    Hi there... I bought the MZ-NH1 Hi-MD on Amazon for 105 pounds, which was half the price of any high street shop around here (I don't work for them I can assure you! but I thought it was a staggeringly good deal, so snapped it up) Using the 1 Gig Hi-MD disc, you can record 90 minutes of CD...

    MD to PC using USB

    I've recently used an old format MD recorder and just bought one of the new Hi-MD machines and this is my findings... You can perform file transfers using USB with the new Hi-MD machines and Hi-MD discs, but you cannot put old format discs into the new machines and upload using USB. The reason...

    Mini disk to cd

    as far as i know, it's only the new Hi-MD format that can be uploaded using USB. previously i made recordings on an older minidisc recorder (Sony MDS-JE520) and when i put these old discs into my new machine, they show up as the "Net-MD" format... and these cannot be uploaded via USB, which is...

    Mini disk to cd

    i've just bought one of the newer Hi-MD recorders, just as a toy really... but at our last practice i recorded 90 minutes of uncompressed 16 bit, 44.1Khz stereo audio onto a single minidisc straight from our mixer (as everything is DI'ed). i then uploaded the wav files to my PC using USB, and...

    USB 2.0 vs Firewire

    When I was investigating this a few months ago for use with a laptop, firewire was definitely the way to go. As although USB2 (480Mbps) is in theory slightly quicker than firewire (400Mbps) in practice firewire wins the race. More importantly, each firewire device is guaranteed its bandwidth...

    Yamaha P90 or Roland RD170

    After having previously said don't be swayed by reviews, I've had lots of time on my hands recently to be swayed by reviews :rolleyes: I couldn't help noticing the bag full of comments on this site referring to the "ringing" effect of the P90...

    Yamaha P90 or Roland RD170

    Hey RKB, I think I could have posted your last message! I currently have a Roland A90 keyboard, gorgeous piano sound, but an absolute beast to carry around... plus I can't find a case or a bag big enough to put it in. I get very jealous when I see players turning up for gigs with these new...

    Left Handed Piano!

    Thanks for the link! That looks very interesting. I just need to find a computer programmer now! *takes a quick look at job description... :eek:* (that explains why I'm still single then) As far as playing 'left-handed', I've already been practising (with the sound off!). It can melt your...

    Left Handed Piano!

    OK, I'm a southpaw! Lead with my left! But have been playing piano the same as everyone else for the last 15 years. It's never really been a problem, but my biggest weakness is the exceptionally fast Blues / Rock 'n Roll style'y which requires a lot of strength in the right hand. I know all the...

    Something missing from my mix... does is just need mastering?

    I will try another audio CD through the DVD player tonight (how come the obvious is sometimes not obvious, slaps head) And now you mention it, I guess DVDs have to sound good through TV speakers as that's going to be their main use! Maybe the audio track on the DVD was specially mastered for...

    Something missing from my mix... does is just need mastering?

    Something missing from my mix... does it just need mastering? Hey guys, I've spent the last few months mixing a few songs for our band and I'm really pleased with the result, mainly thanks to all the great tips from this place. Playing the CD through many stereo systems it seems to hold its...

    Sound module for drums... Roland XV series??

    OK ! I've had a couple of nights to play with the Zoom MRT3. Originally annoyed because the thing did not come with a power supply... think that's because it can take batteries, which were also not included! Anyway, the demo song sounded incredible (as they all do I think!). The pads work...

    Sound module for drums... Roland XV series??

    I'm only interested in triggering via MIDI In (patterns originally created with an electric kit)... so the MRT-3 will work fine for me... I've just found a page with seemingly endless glowing reviews for the MRT-3 (thanks Leeking). I've been convinced... First shop I called were selling at 99...

    Sound module for drums... Roland XV series??

    That's good info Mike. I will be keeping an eye on the bidding for the D4... The technique of recording live cymbals is a real eye opener, so obvious yet I never thought of it *slaps forehead*. We ruled out using live drums for the obvious troubles but will definitely try recording a few live...
