A long shot, but I'm using a homebuilt analog to digital signal converter that outputs the signal in a fiber toslink. When recording from that I do not get any track marks. I usually connect it to a radio to record night transmissions. Its something like this: http://www.trianglecables.com/adv-2000.html

I've searched the forum but I cant find anything about this issue. When Soundforge 8.0d runs, Sonicstage 4.0 cant be started. If Sonicstage 4.0 runs, and I start Soundforge 8.0, I can use Soundforge. But when switching to Sonicstage, it just terminates even without a windows error. I tried on two different PC's with the same problem. Is anybody else having this problem?

The Sony MDR-V6 headphones has a sensitivity of 106db and an impedance of 56 ohms. Other headphones usually are in the range of 90-100 db but lower impedance. I read somewhere that the higher impedance, the higher output from a standard 8 mW HI-MD minidisc player? How is the sensitivity compared to the impedance have an impact of the power output from the amplifier?

I downloaded the file and it worked ok. Try from here, i zipped it: http://home.online.no/~tho-raad/ftp/MZ-NH600.zip

I think this thread has been up before without any solution but is there anyone who succeeded to disable this sound in Sonicstage without muting the speakers on the pc?

Try downloading the PDF by right clicking the file first to save it onto the harddrive. When finished downloading, open the PDF file by double click it. Acrobat is known to hang a bit sometimes when opening PDF files within the explorer.

I've been reading the pinned posts about the new uploading possibilities with SS 3.4 but I'm still a little bit confused. I have a lot of 80 min discs formatted as HI-MD with 256kb ATRAC Plus format music on them. I want to transfer the contents of these old discs to some new 1 GB HI-MD discs I bought, mainly to save space having numerous 80 min discs hanging around. But I'm not sure if the files are recompressed when uploading them from the 80 min disc to the PC followed by downloading the files again to the new 1 GB disc? How can you tell its just transparent copying? Can anyone help me with how the recommended settings should be in the transfer mode settings dialog box?

I'm writing this as the topic "upload for confused users" is not updated since 2004, and now we have the latest version of SS 3.4 that changed a lot of issues with uploading, but... With SS 3.4 I can upload tracks from a HI-MD disc to my PC and transfer it to another HI-MD disc without any recompression, making me able to recompile my HI-MD discs whenever I get new music. I tried this with a normal MD disc, ie. a standard SP play disc, but I could not get it to work. SS 3.4 does not give me any error, it just ignores the upload command. Does this mean I still have to recompress source music that I want to transfer from old 80 minute discs to HI-MD discs?

Does somebody know if the 352kbps is a real bitrate or just upsampled from standard HI-SP 256kbps?

I did not know Creative had a card with a real vinyl phono RIAA pre amp. Can you point me to a link to that specific card?

I agree regarding the fanatics. But most of us normal people do own these cheap normal vinyl players. My dream would be that incredibly expensive japanese vinyl laser turntable player by ELP. But that is another issue. http://www.elpj.com/purchase/

The preamp used for the vinyl player itself will probably generate more S/N noise than the noticeable difference between recording by line or by optical input on the MD making the practical method remaining. I record vinyl LP's by simply connecting my MD's line inputs to my preamplifiers line outputs. Then I transfer the resulting HI-SP file within Sonicstage as a big chunk and edit the resulting WAV file in Soundforge by removing clicks and cracks and all that. I cant hear any difference between WAV or HI-SP. Probably because a vinyl source itself is usually not an optimal source of sonically perfect sound.

I have tried this for a long time. Have anybody succeded to do this? I can not find any wav-file to remove for this or any setting in Sonicstage so I guess its going to be a register hack?

I sort of suspected this limitation in Sonicstage. My bookshelf unit does not have a digital input for the MD player in it, so I burned the mp3's as wav-files to a CDR and then put the CDR into my bookshelf unit CD player. Then I recorded the CDR to the MD with the direct digital dubbing recording function it has. A bit akward, but it works. Still not possible to make mono double play MD's though. Or is that mode available somehow in Sonicstage? In SS, I guess 132kbps is the LP2 mode, 105kbps is the LP4 mode. Could then the 66kbps mode be the SP mono mode? Also, I just modified the bookshelf to have a toslink digital output from the MD unit in it. That makes me able to copy all my old MD discs over to my portable HI-MD recorder directly digitally. Except those MD's that were originally copied digitally from CD's, they show up as protected when tried to be copied. SCMS of course.....:-( Are there any HI-MD players out there that has a digital output?

I have an old MD player that only plays SP and possibly also the double time mono mode. The model is a bookshelf Sony DHC-MD333. I want to transfer some mp3-stuff with Sonicstage to an MD disc that can be played on this player. I figured out I have to format the disc as a NET-MD disc first. It is a 74 min disc. Can Sonicstage transfer mp3 files to the MD disc in true SP mode or is it going to be converted through as a fake SP (LP2) conversion to the disc? I want the best sound possible, not fake converted with LP2 or something else. Can I use simple burner instead? Will that program support SP mode? Also, can I transfer talk shows to the MD disc in double play mono mode with Sonicstage or how do I do?
