hi all,
firstly let me introduce myself. my name is tim and i am a sound artist from Dublin, Ireland. Dia Duit agus Failte Leat!!
to keep things simple i shall briefly describe this problem and we can (hopefully) take it from there.
i am completely new to the Minidisc format, in the past i have used the Tape and SD-Card medium for capturing sound. due to a desire for extreme portability i have bought a minidisc player, the MZ-RH1 HI-MD recorder. mainly because it allows me to record in "CD Quality" Linear PCM format. i shall not be using the unit for listening-on-the-go purposes and will be using exclusively the PCM format for my work.
okay, now the issue.
so i have filled up a couple of discs with field recordings (made via binaural microphones through the plug-in-power unit input). i can listen back to the recordings on headphones via the player itself no problem but when i go to transfer the files to the PC via Sonic Stage 4.3 "Ultimate", the program does indeed begin to transfer them and at 100% status gives me the option to " save in .WAV format, of which i click YES then a dialogue box says that " One or more tracks cannot be saved in WAV format" ....strange?
of course perhaps i am making some rudimentary error. should i convert them with the ''Conversion Tool" before or after importing them into SS?
does this sound like a problem with the way the MZ-RH1 is set-up to record ( PCM) or perhaps a SS issue ( i have gone into Transfer mode settings and clicked Import Settings -> "Save in Wav format when importing" ?
as you can see i am quite perplexed as to what the problem is! i am sure it is just something simple at my end but NEED HELP!!
i am working on a project and i want to import the saved .WAV files into Pro-Tools for further Editing/ Compostion etc etc...
any help on this issue would be wonderful,
thanks for reading
tim.
