Tips On Using My Rh910

[Zappa]

I've been using mindiscs for a while (an old sharp 722 unit, R37, R90... seems like I've had everything). I thought switching over to Hi Md would be a total joy. But....

My first venture into hi md recording was an absolute disaster. I had about 4 hours of material recorded in hi-sp and even after breaking it up into several tracks, I still got errors during upload. I finally had to resort to the old line in of my audio card 1x transfer. Blah. General consensus seems to be that I just had a crummy disc. Who knows. Is that common?

Anyways, I'm willing to give this all another shot, but I want to do it right. I'll be using Hi-Sp (not changing discs is too nice) and I'll be starting over with a brand new Hi Md disc. Line in with my cardiods and power supply.

What can I do to help my chances of having a successfull upload of my recorded tracks? Should I turn on auto track marks to make for smaller pieces when uploading? Absolutely any ideas would be very welcomed.

Thanks

Try closing every other program possible while running SonicStage. Don't browse, turn off your firewall and other background programs, etc. Also disconnect any other USB devices except the MD. SonicStage is a resources hog.

Instead of using AutoTrack, why not edit the disc on the player before uploading: fast-foward (while listening) and put a track mark in every stretch of applause. It's good to separate the tracks because if SonicStage refuses one, it might still upload others.

By the way, another exciting SonicStage glitch: sometimes it says "cannot convert to .wav" after it has done an upload. If you go back to the uploaded track, left-click on it and use Save as .wav, it will convert nicely.
