Help! First Md - Want To Bin It...

[Jack]

Hi All,

I would really appreciate some help...

After 7 years of using a portable TEAC DAP20 digitape m/c I bought an MZ-NH700 and I'm having problems. I record nature sounds and normally just transfer them straight to the PC and Cool Edit as .wavs then downsample from 48k to 44k.

Now I have Sonic Stage and .omg (oh my god?) and can do nothing at all with the sounds. Can't change them to .wavs, can't get them into an editing program. I know I could come out through the headphone port in analogue onto digital tape but that rather defeats the point.

All I want to do is record and then edit the sounds in either Cool Edit or Sound Forge. Am I missing something?

Is there anything I can do, or is this machine and software a toy?

Any help/advice really appreciated before I saw through my veins with a

minidisc?

if you record to the HiMD unit, you can transfer the OMG files (as long as they weren't recorded digitally) to WAVs with Sony's Wav Conversion tool

or HiMDRender. Read this:

once you convert it to wav you can edit it with cool edit and actually there is a lot of information on this if you search the internet

Also I'm sure if you do a search on this forum alone you will find all the information you seek on the matter.
