Title: More transfer issues.........
Post by: Stumptown Matt on March 13, 2004, 10:48:51 PM
I have been transfering some one of a kind stuff I have on mini disc so I can start consolidating my colection.  On several MDs I a getting what seems to be brick walling.  The funny thing though is they sound just fine on playback throught the MD deck, both my portable and stand alone.  So my question is do the MD decks have some sort of error correction?  If so is there a way to get my computer to do the same thing?  I am transfering Via my stand alone MD recorder with an optical out> hercules GT-XP soundcard (optical in)>CD Wave editor.  I have tried using the mixer feature for the soundcard to reduce the input level, but I still get the distortion in the same places.  Would something like normalizing in an editing program fix this, if not what can I do?  The only other option I can think of would be to do the tranfer analog since the problem seems to exist only in the digital realm.  Thanks for any help.
