Hello all,
New here and fairly new to taping. Have done roughly 10 shows with varying results.
I have the Sony MZ - NHF800 unit, juice box and mics built by Minidisco. I'm using the 1gb HiMd discs. Also, using Energizer lithium batts.
The 1st 2 shows I did, no probs with equipment.
Since then I've had 2 shows where sound has cut out at different points for 2 - 3 sec's for no apparent reason. I thought maybe the batt's I was using ( Ray o Vac alkaliene, fresh ones each time tho ) were the prob but had it happen during after show chatter in another recording using the Lithium batt's so kinda wipes that theory away.
The last 2 shows I did I've gotten loud bumps in several spots. Thought on the first show that maybe the mics or unit got bumped and didn't notice ( couldn't remember it happening but... ).
The show I did last night, I made sure nothing got bumped but same sound in recording.
So, would anyone have any idea what's happening? Is this a quirk with the unit or something? I did read a previous thread where someone had mentioned defects/ probs with these discs. Is the prob with the discs? ( seems that may be the prob but would like to know for sure as I've stocked up on these things )
Thanks for any info,
Ron
