Thanks for the 2 second tip! I really never thought about it so this is great to know.
I always go to the toilet to set my gear up once I get into the venue. Then I just have to place the mic correctly and press record once the show starts. During the first 10-15 seconds I follow the level meter on the player to make sure it doesn't go over the limit. If it's even close to the limit, I lower the sound by one step to make sure the loudest parts of the show doesn't get distorted. This all is of course possible only with players that allow you to adjust the volume while recording.
Another tip for players that don't allow you to adjust the level while recording but only when the recording is on pause; if there is a warm up band, do all the necessary adjustments during their set because the sound level is most likely pretty much identical for the main act as well..

And hey, the Hi-MD can still record the same old MD format! But I'm not sure you can upload 'that' type.
Yes, you can, but only if it is formatted as Hi-MD (doubling its capacity).
The 45 seconds thing doesn't ring true for me. I did a recording and it only took around 15-20 seconds.
Should I point that the "save data" time increases with the recorded time?
Yeah, that tip saves the "Writing TOC" time. I have forgotten that!
Might I suggest that you use the last version of SonicStage?
Haven't uploaded any recordings yet, so I'll try and update when I have.

True Wilki, I hadn't used up more than half the disc for recording. So, the save time could be a lot more, I guess!
Btw, I am using the latest version of Sonicstage (3.1) to upload/record. Great stuff. Though, it caused major headaches because I was originally using XPSP1. It didn't like that. Updated windows to SP2 (reluctantly) and everything started working!
Now... here's the real reason I'm posting here. Tonight I wanted to record a conversation and set-up the record and left it on pause. Well, I completely forgot to start it! But get this, that was 5 hours ago and I just found it. The battery is STILL full on my display... Now, that should reassure anyone about setting their recording up and leaving it on pause for any length of time before a gig.
Peace,
Adam.
