Post by: nameloc01 on October 22, 2010, 10:08:36 PM
hey
need a couple of 1gb HIMD blanks immediately..last minute show and I didnt have time to order blanks...I live in Cleveland, but will
be around the Mansfield (OH), Toldeo, and lower Michigan/greater Detroit area in the next two days..the show is Sunday...Roger Waters doing "The Wall"..I want to try to avoid recording over another one of my masters..if anyone is anywhere remotely close to any of these areas and would be willing to sell a few or know a store that has some in stock..I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks
jason

hey...

did you find any media in the end?

Are you using HIMD as a proprietary gathering format? Do you do upload much material from it to computer?

Don't see alot of MD'ers on here...

Hey.. Well..i found two mds/shows in my box that were not worth keeping actually..so i just used those. I keep all of my recordings on the master mds..i have a couple hundred probably at this point. Last time i tried to offload one..something happened..my laptop crashed and the recording was somehow removed and deleted from the master disc..total loss. so im not going to do that again. Gonna order a large quantity this week..

whoa- that's pretty heavy!!

whenever I come back with something really important I try and copy it first- that's really bad; bloody computers!

I'd always keep my Masters. I don't do alot of 1GB stuff myself, although I am running it as a high-res shadow recorder at the moment from my HHB.

What programme are you trying to use it with? The Sony Sonic stage stuff...?

yeah,the last time was with the SonicStage software..fucking laptop got the "dreaded blue screen of death"..and the data was completely removed from the md master in the process..total loss. So, I just keep all the masters in my archive and if I want a cd copy I just do an MD>analog out into my cd burner...which works fine.

yeah- it's bit of a mixed blessing the HI-MD format as the machine's don't exist!!

I had a look on eBay and there's a full sized deck made by ONKYO in Japan but it's a fortune and part of a mini-system!!

I think the design intention is that it's a gathering tool for PC audio.- Do you know of anyone trying it to Mac? Does Sonicstage run on Mac stuff...?
