MD definately Posted by steve (from: 213.123.41.54) on September 30, 2000 at 17:42:51: In Reply to: Field Recordering posted by Tim Tholemeier on September 30, 2000 at 08:40:21: Hi Tim mini disks record digitally with CD quality so if the end product is a CD then it would be silly to use anything other than a 'digital' recorder. Now for excellent results you should use a big microphone which should be plugged straight into a minidisk microphone socket. The bigger the mic the better the pick up of quiet sounds. If you are going to record quiet sounds like bird song lets say then you could check various recorders for thier mic 'pick up' rate - I think this may be listed in the documentation as an 'Ohm' level. They don't come with 'amplifiers' to boost a mic input I don't think whereas pro recorder used for TV work etc will have. However quiet signals could be boosted in your PC quite effectivly with an audio editor. Another prblem you may have with a MD is monitoring the signal as it happens. This would be a good feature which they may have or not. You can always record a bit and listen back to it then reposition the mic. steve Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : : Hi Tim : mini disks record digitally with CD quality so if the end product is a CD then it would be silly to use anything other than a 'digital' recorder.
