I'm considering buying some sort of minidisc recorder and a mic for making recordings for sampling. Does anyone here have any advice for the best models to go for / good but cheap mics? Just how would i go about transferring recordings to my PC (just plug the output from the minidisc into my sound card input)? How much is this going to set me back? All recommendations gratefully welcomed. I know i can count on you, xltronic peoples. |

get a massive fluffy mic :) |

Hahaha yeah that would be cool. I really want a small directional mic for recording conversation and quiet sounds on the sly, though. I'm sneaky like that. |

I really can't wait until I can start recording all the sounds I come across... I'll be taking the thing every where. |

from what I've heard, minidiscs aren't very good for recording purposes, seeing as they compress using ATRAC. |

Dang. Is there any other medium you know of offering better quality, portability and widespread compatibility? |

the system used on minidiscs works by only recording the sounds audible to the human ear, thus saving valuable space. i'll check the model of my MD-mic, as it's pretty damn fine, and not massively expensive either. i've used ti to record all sorts of things; from interesting sounds to rough cut's of acoustic guitar tracks (with vocals) that a friend of mine needed recording once. all very good quality. i've had it a few years, so that particular model should have come down in price by now. |

Hmmm, ATRAC doesn't seem all that bad, more like a VBR system than a standard lossy bitrate. I'd be grateful for model numbers etc mister milk hall, that's exactly what i'm looking for. |

they are more than ok for recording, they can edit recordings too. you can have up to 254 tracks on one MD. shuffle it - you'll be surprised. i record everything,evryday. i recommend you to find some older models, mzr37,mzr50 or something liek liek that, cause they have plug for stereo mic,so there's no i hear rrecording in only one headphone thing,but it's ok if you plan to edit everything on the computer. anyway check www.minidisc.org and read as much as you can |
