what are you going to use to record your music with reflex? right now i want to find something allowing me to put my music on the internet so i can distribute it, get feedback, set up a site and what not. i'd like to make a submission the the next community vibes album, but i have no way of putting my music on the computer. |

just get a cheap sound card... minidisk recorders sound pretty shitty because they compress the audio data so much... and this is before you convert to mp3, which compresses it even more... which means you lose some high and low frequencies...which means it starts to sound like garbage... |

you have given an idea: music that sounds like garbage. oh wait. that's what mtv and the radio have done. maybe i will be like merzbow, but rather than process sounds at high frequencies, i will have boring sounds processed at shit frequencies after top and bottom ones have been lost and compressed through conversions. |

or you could do that, and make really dancy shitty tracks and call yourself "the crystal method" |

haha... good one, afterthought. i wish i could get a minidisc recorder because that is what Rephlex and many other labels prefer to have submitted to them. Hevquip, try buying an audio restoration program or something of the likes for your hard-drive --- that's how i record my live music --- i have this program called DartPro 32 --- it's mainly used for audio restoration, but if you record live tracks like this they will sound fucking great!!! ..just watch those levels. |

the reason some labels want stuff on minidisk is because they know what a pain it is to put stuff on minidisk, and how few people own them, thus they get less demos, hence, less shit music for them to wade through |

afterthought: have you ever even owned a minidisc recorder? Obviously not. Yes they CAN compress but you can opt not to and then you would get just 80 minutes of cd quality sound. Even on the LP2 setting if recorded through an optical cable still sounds excellent. I dont know what kind of MD recorder you're talking about but I doubt it exists. Yes, you can compress the sound to put more time on a cd BUT you have the option of turning it off and using the base 80 minute burn length. |

oh yeah and minidisc's being accepted by labels as priority... one reason.. They are rewritable. |

Difony mike B- yeah keep recording on minidisc, i'm sure it's going to pay off...like you won't eventually get something else to record on when you get more money...i'm just saying be smart in the long run and get a cpu sound card and some software... not some minidisc player that if you'll be tired of in 6 months |

you are right afterthought.. .. a good soundcard is essential but from the angle that I took the question from was suggesting that he wanted to record mixes to his computer but using minidisc because maybe his music gear isnt near his computer ya know? |

at the moment i am at college studying music/studio technology and it is true that the mini disc realy does have to compress tons of data onto that little bit of aluminium coated plastic thus in turn leaving the end result missing lots of the original audio! i myself think that yes there small n cheap but thy dont half diminish the quality of your recordings! analog is the prefered method used in many modern day studios at uni we master all of our stuff onto audio tape 3cm wide, analog recordings record everything in the natural stereo spectrum ie even the natural ambient silences, where the digital method turns the anolog sound waves into the binary form 1111000010101100001000 which basicaly results in major compression and loss of natural true recording! though it doesnt matter at all what quality of samples you use just listen to the sample on the afx men remix that guy talking about Es the quality is complete shite but it still makes me grin everytime! |
