drsoram Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I have a meditation CD that depends on sub-audible tones to put you into the meditative state. I normally listen to it with my CD Player. If I transfer the CD to My new RH10 in Hi-MD Linear PCM, is the transfer identical to copying from the original CD to a Backup CD..ie. ALL digital information identical on the transfer? I cannot use the meditation CD as an MP3 because the subaudible tones do not transfer with MP3 compression. But it would be nice to be able to use my smaller MD RH10 instead of a CD player for portability, battery life, etc.--as long as ALL digital data transfers over! Thanks !

The_Stamp Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 yup, you can. just ript the cd into a PCM format (using a cd ripper.. im not sure in Sonicstage allows PCM) and transfer over to the md. it will prompt you to pick a codec i think. if it does, select PCM. if not, then i have no clue how to make it pop up when you want it to. i have tried to figure the damn thing myself, and im no closer in figuring how it knows when to convert.

The Low Volta Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Either you rip the cd in some audio program that allows PCM (don't think SS does either) and import the files in SS. Go to 'Tools/options/transfer' select 'Hi-MD' as the device and press 'transfer settings'. Here you can select the first check-box: 'standard transfer mode' which transfers files 'as they are, without conversion'. To be extra sure, you can also click 'advanced settings' and check the 'ask me every time'-box with the 'what to do if a file can't be transferred as is' question... so no unexpected/unnoticed conversion will take place at all.Or you download SimpleBurner 2.0 with PCM mode from the MDCF-downloads and just flick in your cd, press 'config' (on top right) and select Hi-MD/PCM for bitrate to encode in and just press 'transfer'!Don't know about you, but the SB-way looks a bit easier/faster and you don't even have to screw your SS settings up, but just as a tip I included the location to change these setting (especially for you Stampy ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzir Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Yes, you can rip PCM into SonicStage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsoul Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 You can also use Simple Burner to rip in PCM. (oops, sorry I see that was posted above; but here is the link for the SB files...)http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=5552 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsoram Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Thanks everybody! My question really is : when you RIP the CD to PCM are you keeping all the bits of data or does it change or compress the original CD data at all? Again I have these sub audible tones on the original that I want to be sure STAY in the PCM version!Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 It is identical to the CD, nothing is changed in PCM-mode, so everything, that is on the CD is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silence Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Thanks Jadeclaw!Really glad to hear that! !←drsoramYou need not worry about the subliminal information disappearing in the transfer, I worked at studio where we made such tapes ( originally) CD 's later for psychologist and you can actually copy to compress media and not lose the message. some companies who sold products similar to yours tried to scare their customers from duplicating the product by claiming that the message would be lost -The fact is NOT TRUE . feel free to duplicate to any medium you chose.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
