DAMN!  Is there no way to turn off that "feature"?  Somebody had a bad idea there!

The way I understand it there is no way to turn off the automatic track mark feature on some MD's.  I believe it's mostly the HIMD's but I'm not really sure.  I do know it's impossible for some models.

i guess the only other argument would be is

if ur stealthing HI-MD recording in lossless

ur 1h 34m mark goes up and time for a disc switch - the disc switch increases ur change of being caught 

this is the exact reason why im thinking of getting a flash recorder. ive only taped one show in a low key venue. ive got a couple of gigs coming up - neil young, joe bonamassa. i found it a bit tricky switching md's while taping my first show. adding to that, i kept checking to see how long i had left on each disc. the thought if being able to turn a recorder on and just leaving it to run sounds like a dream. i have the church audio cards and church audio 9100 pre. can anyone recommend the best setup if i had the following (i.e. which inputs to use)

edirol r-09 > church audio 9100 pre > church audio cards

p.s. would i need to use the pre to record loud rock gigs? (im guessing its a yes)

cheers guys

Hi-mds are great for some and not for others. The day i cant buy 1gb blanks anymore is the day i stop taping. And i have more trust in my m100 than any other recorder you could put in front of me.
