Date/time Stamps And Ss

Hi,

Well, I think I'll stick it out with my NH1...Maybe somebody will reverse engineer OpenMG/Himd someday happy.gif. Anyway, thanks to all of the incredibly helpful people on this forum who helped me out (I'm the guy who posted "cannot find database").

My question is, the NH1 has date/time stamping, is there any way to get SS to import/transfer over this data?

(Can't seem to see the option...if I've missed and it's obvious, please forgive me...come to think of it, it seems completely illogical that Sony wouldn't transfer the stamps over...).

Also, for those who transfer live recordings via SS, what do you do once you've transferred them over, since you only get one shot at in? (eg. do you use HiMD Renderer? What's the best way to preserve quality with this method? As well as squeeze as much as possible?)

thanks,

Victor

Hi,

Okay, I'm stupid rolleyes.gif *slaps back of head*

I was kinda scared about transfering my files, due to the limit on only one transfer...but anyway, I decided to risk it, and now notice that the tracks are named after the date/time stamps...

This is excellent work...

Now that I've finally gotten SS to work (buying a new harddisk, spending an hour or so installing Windows 2000, and then messing around with boot.ini to get dual boot up), it's actually survivable...not stupendously great, but pretty ok...problem is I have to keep rebooting back to my main box, then back to this one every time I want to transfer something...lol... wink.gif

cya,

Victor

Under Tools/Options in SonicStage 3.0, there's Transfer/Hi-MD, Set Transfer Mode, and it should be on Standard--same quality as recorded.

Then save them as .wav files when SonicStage offers to do so. That preserves full quality.

You can do whatever you want with the .wav files. Get dbpoweramp ( www.dbpoweramp.com ) and you can convert to lossless compressed formats like .flac , but you'll only be able to playback .flac on a computer. You can also convert to high-bitrate mp3 or .ogg, which are lossy but not bad.

Excellent laugh.gif

Die DRM, die...hehehe

My time/stamps seems to be a bit weird though....some of my tracks have them, and some of the earlier ones don't....strangeness, it's probably just me - has anybody here noticed any quirks about time/date stamps, how to make sure all tracks have them, or any reason they wouldn't be stamped?

(btw...to A440 - I thought HiMD Renderer can output to Flac anyway? Still, DBPoweramp looks pretty cool - will definitely check out - atm, I'm still trying to figure out the best settings for the LAME thingy - ie what min/max bitrate, and what VBR quality - any suggestions? (aiming for pretty small file sizes, since it's speech - maybe 50 kbps? Would re-encoding the Hi-LP Atrac3 files as 50kbps MP3's significantly decrease quality?)

thanks,

Victor

I have an NH900 amd I'm using SonicStage 2.0. Do I take it from the above that SS 3.0 offers direct saving of uploaded files as wav? (No longer necessary to use HiMDRenderer?)

Is SS 3.0 a big download ?

Many thanks
