Re: Sony TCD-D8 ?

NON TIMECODE FIELD RECORDERS
SONY D-7 AND NOW D-8
Very small stereo DAT non TC recorder ($600.00) used often as backup of DAT TC machines. Priced for mass consumption but with pro sound quality. Runs on 4 AA Batt or 6V external. If someone would only make an A-time to SMPTE TC converter this would knock the overpriced DAT TCs off the market. Here some excerpts from the SoundBoard concerning D-7 (now D-8).

Message: Sold by The DAT store, Santa Monica, (310)828-6487. 'Good Guys' have better return policy. It sounds better than the D-10. The bottom end is more real, much tighter than the D-10. Top end of the D-7 seems slightly overemphasized. A very small amount of sizzle seems to be added to marginally sibilant recordings. Over modulating it is a disaster of course, it has no limiter, the D-10 has excellent ones. The portable Panasonic doesn't have one either. To record one channel 10 dB or so lower (as safety) than the other, you must use an external pad. The D-7 OVERLOAD lights come on approx. 6 dB before the A-D actually breaks up. You monitor D-A so you are well aware at time of recording what the converters put on the tape. Since there is no 2nd set of heads reading off tape you do not hear what errors the tape might add. Datman line level inputs clip at approx. +6dbu, and this occurs before the input level control. 10dB pads (80 or 100K ohms in line and 10 or 20 K parallel) on the inputs to the Datman will cure the problem if you feed it with 0dbu. Mount them in the XLR cable input connectors. Stability of tape transport is a lot better than any analog machine. D-7's small remote lets you ERASE, SET, REMEMBER all cue points (PNOs) after recording audio. You can make the machine play a loop 5 sec long and move the IN point by .3 sec at a time. The MD does this also. The big IR remote (AC power) for D-7 lets you assign numbers to cue points. I dropped the machine 2 feet on a carpet; nothing was hurt. Power car adapter is available from Wolf Seeberg, yes it is a unique plug no R/S and only some portable CD players have. Any easy software out yet to read DAT audio into IBM direct and then modem out to transfer house?? Any SLP/PPP or transfer houses handle these large files? ---DAT dog---
Mess: I have been using non polarized 10Mfd tantalum chip caps 50v to block the 1.4 volts that Sony puts on the Mic inputs for powering electret condensers. This doesn't roll off low end too much. I have my D-700 deck hooked up permanently and use it for D to A and A to D. Sending the files by modem is difficult, they are many megabytes large and don't compress using any computer compression very well. Probably because of Digital interleaving LRLRLRLR and error correction has low sequential redundancy. The eject/door open switch, has a fragile locking button to prevent it from being hit accidentally. D-7 will record at 44.1 kHz if you are going in with a 44.1 digital signal. D-7 normally records at standard DAT 48khz and also at the long play half-speed and 32Khz non-linear 12 bit. At 48Khz you have more bandwidth and more compatibility between machines. D-8 records at 44.1 or 48 from analog and 32 from digital inputs. The D-7 will play back any tape speed or sample rate. One-Bit converter is a GOOD thing. Although the DAT machine uses 16 Bits per sample to represent sound, It over samples at 16 times that rate to achieve 1bit or pulse A-D conversion. This means less sample error and better resolution in low level passages. I'm not sure the analog section is as good though. The line inputs seem fine, but the Mic inputs seem a little noisy, as do the D-10s.----Courtney----

Leonard M. Lombardo http://www.sonicstudios.com publishes a good Newsletter and offers unique portable DAT deck accessories for sale: Sonic Studios, 1311 Sunny Court, Sutherlin, OR 97479,Ph. (541)459-8839, Fax: (541)459-8842, E-M: GuySonic@xxxxxxx . He has come up with a new patented 'binaural' type recording method, head-worn stereo microphones. He also reports the SBM-1 (Sony's 24 bit super bit map A/D & preamp. Accessory that uses Sony's psycho-acoustic algorithms & is for TCD-D-3, D-7, or D-8) gives a better detailed, and clearer sound. He makes a new dummy head, custom DAT deck power plugs, and really well fitting molded right-angle mini-stereo connectors (not the same as US 3.5mm mini!). He says: The SBM-1 eats 4 AAs in 2 hours., mic. preamp is an improvement over D-8's with same -3db bass roll off in Lo-gain at 7 Hz., and 20 Hz roll off in Hi-gain. Clean mic. input jack/plugs with +90% pure isopropyl alcohol, and then protect using Caig Labs ProGold.
Sony Makes a Digital Dubbing Cable that Plugs into the Remote Control Jack (strange trapezoid multipin hole on side). It has RCA Input jack for SPDIF Audio. If you want both In and Out, you need the Infra Red remote and Remote Receiver box. Check with Sony for the accessories.---Courtney

Sony MZ-R55       Sharp MT84         Aiwa AM-F70

Tim Field wrote: The Sharp 821 changes record levels on the fly (unlike Sony) for a few dBs not the whole range the input drops out until the new level is set. Sharp headphone amp is better than the Sony. Lithium rechargeable gives record time of 4 hours. Level meter is easy to read but it doesn't show L+R separately, indication of "over" didn't distort so there is probably a limiter. The display is not backlit but the remote is. Editing is easy and titling is as tedious as on other portables.

MD FOR PLAYBACK
Advantages over DAT: No rewind time, cues up in 1/3 sec, parking heads at start mark does not get the oxide wiped from tape as happens with DAT after 20-50 cues. Cue can be moved in fractions of less than a second. Cues are set instantly. DATs shuffle for 10 seconds before cue is "written". Additional cues can be set and erased on Record or Playback. This causes a rippling change of the cue mark numbers further down the disk. DATs you need to renumber which takes from 20 seconds to 2 minutes. Of course you can not change the portable MD players speeds by .01%, so make sure you get the correct speed music delivered to you. This is often very difficult and usually takes a long time as there are very few people who know what they are doing in the music world.

A very useful alternative are the MD players made for broadcast use. They are AC powered of course and rather large but they are solid workhorses and have often some RAM so you can actually scrub and place markers very accurately.

Sony MZ-R55 has analog stereo line output (and optical) on Sony mini jack and headphones out. R60 and R90 has only headphone out. A must have accessory is DCC-E345 12V car adapter or the AC power supply (or poss. CPA-9). MD on internal NiMetalHydride or attached 2x AA shuts down every minute to preserve power not so with these adapters; it spins indefinitely. MD stays ready to play on external AC or DC adapter continuously. Get Sony cables RK-G129HG (stereo mini plug to phono plug LR) and RK-G136HG (stereo mini plug to stereo mini plug) that cause less stress on mini jacks (line output seems a decent -10) than generic cheap 3.5mm plugs. Sales guys will not tell you this! Additional cue marks set after original recording do not transfer between MZ-R55 and MZ-R90. All use the same battery and DC adapters. The remote controls seem interchangeable; they are all but useless. (Too small and they give no additional functions. It's a Japanese sales gimmick.)

If you digitize in a very slightly distorted track you will notice that the additional compression of MD makes distortion sound a lot worse. Sony discontinued the MZ-R55 in January 2000. (Some still available at Audio Video Center in Santa Monica (310)451-6200)

There is some debate if it is possible to record SMPTE timecode reliably on one of the audio tracks (as is the practice sometimes with DAT) as the voice oriented ATRAC compression scheme doesn't know what to do with the digital SMPTE code. It throws out some of the data, making the reading of code on playback unreliable. Test it – it may work.
Seems you can power lavs with Sony’s mic power in the input connector and so have a sync-body-pack recorder with no RF problems. The audio technica 830 is said to work with this built in power and sounds OK.

From: Stuart Wilson StuartWlsn@xxxxxxx
I've been using an Aiwa AM-F70 for a few months now and it's pretty good. You can adjust levels on the fly and I've never experienced dropout while the change is made. The remote is handy although doesn't have a record button on it; so you have to set the unit to record/pause mode to trigger recording start & stop from the remote. A useful feature is the 40 second buffer which allows you to run around without it skipping (although if you give it a good determined twist on it's axis, you can force it to give up!).I use mine for intermittent recording of about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours a day and I charge it up every 2nd day, although it also has a little plug in box with 3 x AA batteries which you can plug in DURING RECORD if you are getting low. They claim 40 hours playback with the combination of the Lithium ion rechargeable and 3 x AA Alkalines. There is digital output via optical which I've never tried, but also SCMS copy protect. The machine retains the user setup e.g. what manual record level you last set when switched off which is essential. Stereo & mono (double recording time, although this function can only be played back on compatible machines) modes available, but metering is a single small row of LCD on the display which is backlit permanently on mains or only when a key or volume etc adjustment is made on batteries (this can be selected to be permanently off if desired).The in-ear phones are better than usual with an extra molded bit which protrudes into the ear for extra bass, which I've found to give a more accurate impression of what your recording when out and about (similar to pressing normal ones into the ear). I find the track divide/ combine/ erase etc editing functions easy to use, but I haven't really used any other machine. Yes, titling is tedious!
And:… MD for playback: With DAT it is not possible to mark cue points within 10 secs of each other because of the data written in the digital stream. MD will accept cue points to within parts of a second. Mono mix on one track and timecode on the other is possible.
Walkman model will jump into record wherever it is parked. So if you had reviewed say a V/O or wild track it will blow it away. This is a problem with all the Sony portable MDs. The Denon and Sharps, which are the same mechanics anyway, don't do this unless you ask them to. Also the Sony defaults to auto record level each time you go into record and you can’t adjust the record level whilst you are recording.
Lesson three: Don't buy a Sony. The Sharp MD-MS702 will go from a cold start onto the next blank portion of MiniDisc thus saving a lot of valuable seconds and even more valuable recorded material. Chris Syner.

Courtney says: One might think of using the IRiver for Replacements for Wireless. So I tested the iRiver 395T series for accuracy of playback (Sync) and frequency response and they are exceptional for the price. The Current ( 2004) IFP890 and IFP895 would be your best choice as a MiniDisc Recorder Replacement. They have a 1/8" mic/Line input that accommodates a Small Electret Lav which they sell for about $5 US (that's right $4.99 on their website). I have tested this setup, recording with the $5 External Lav and Recording MP3 at 44.1 kHz sample rate and 96K data rate. For dialogue the results are quite usable. Make sure you turn OFF the AGC and set the Record level Manually. The AGC on these units seems to add a lot of processor noise in the BG. The signal to noise on the 800 Series units are not near as good as the old 300 series, but is manageable when brought into a DAW and noise removal routines are applied. This could be a cheap ***-saver when used in scenes boomed with a single directional mic and lots of overlapping dialogue. Or when the director says he has to shoot Wide and Tight at the same time but doesn't have the budget to put Good Wireless Lavs on everybody and record on a Multitrack with track Isolation.

Advantages over others: Easy Record/Pause Start Stop. New file or Pause current file depending on which button used to pause. Records up to 8 Hours in Memory before you need to drain it out over the USB-2 Port. Runs for up to 40 Hours on a single AA penlight battery. (no proprietary battery or rechargers needed). No Moving Parts, Completely immune to vibration and temperature effects. Has UDF firmware available now that makes the unit show up as just another Flash Drive on any computer Mac or PC. Not additional software needed to transfer files off or on to the flash RAM.

I set someone up who does live seminars and sells CDs of the speeches. She was recording on Cassette and the IFP890 with the external Mic has brought the quality up for Her to close to CD quality. She can easily conceal the small IFP-890 in a pocket and discretely press the record button to start recording on the concealed Lavaliere. She can then dump the MP3 Files into her computer and start editing them immediately.

Don't worry too much about the 44khz sample rate limit. Plenty of frequency response for Dialogue recording. Most post production sound is run at this rate anyway. All CD based sound Effects and Music libraries are at 44.1khz. Besides, you can bring the MP3 into an Editor Like Adobe Audition and it sample converts to 48khz and de-compresses to a standard WAV file nicely.

Although the current UDF firmware has an internal Clock which you can set to start and stop recording. The current version of the firmware however does not Time/Date Stamp the MP3 Files. I have requested this for future firmware updates, I hope iRiver is listening to my haranguing. With Time-date Stamping you could have a crude way of synchronizing or at least locating the same take on each person without having to listen to each file for a sync clap or other common sync point to ID a particular take. ---Courtney
