Hi Everyone!
Well it seems you all have moved onto HD for cost effective recordings. I dont see a 'getting started' type faq with minidisc recorders, or have i missed it?
Bottom line is I have decided against a nomad for size reasons. I want a (somewhat cheap, yet soemwhat decent sounding) minidisc recorder.
I want a minidisc for ease of getting into gigs. I know theyre compressed but this is only temporary to get practice taping before the band i really want to tape tours again. Save $$$ on the deck will allow more $$$ for mics and whatever else i will need to transfer everything over to a DAT or smaller HD when the time comes. Whom i want to tape tours once every 4 years, so that gives much time for research, but i also want to get out there and get hands on research with other bands.
WHERE do you start? What model of the 17,000 minidiscs do you buy?
Sharp is better, yes? but there seems to be few for sale. All I am seeing is the 702. How is this model?
Sony seems way more accessible, but they have 49834789797298579 different models.
Some of the recordings i adore that were taped with sony MDs, i never see these models for sale.
What is a decent cost effective sony md to look for? Or is the sharp 702 a better choice than a sony?
Any advice would be appreciated!
and if anyone has an MD theyre looking to get rid of feel free to contact me!!
Thanx!
