eosid Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 And the update of Sonicstage says: Tracks recorded from microphone or analog inputs on Hi-MD devices and Network Walkman can be uploaded to SonicStage and saved in WAV (PCM) format The adress: http://www.sonydigital-link.com/DNA/SonicStage/SS31.asp?l=enOK, but.... maybe with an other program...← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Only recordings in Hi-MD format (ie. on a Hi-MD, or Hi-MD formatted MD) can be transferred back to PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The programmers have absolutely no knowledge of what the hardware can and needs to do...while the hardware division doesn't realize that the software cripples any straightforward use of the machines as intended...

I thought not, but I never owned a NetMD...)so:- if you recorded the discs with an MD...use the MD-analog/(digital?)-realtime method- if you recorded the discs with a Net-MD...use the MD-analog/(digital?)-realtime method and complain to Sony that they are giving very wrong info - if you recorded the discs with a Hi-MD...well, if it would have worked the SS-digital way, you wouldn't have put up a post, right... so use the MD-analog/(digital?)-realtime method and complain to Sony that they are giving very wrong info, 'cause that would prove that discs recorded in MD-mode aren't uploadable with SS (which I actually just assumed, but never checked), and their info doesn't say this good luck and give my greetings to the Sony-customer service will you...

Wedge Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I think there is confusion here between NetMD and Network Walkman.Whatever, Hi-MD WILL NOT transfer NetMD recordings in this way.Unless Sony get their act together - it is only software, after all, that is stopping this!!!Just what is their problem?

megnez Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 maybe you already knew this - then I'm sorry!I just transferred one of my old MD's to the Computer...starting position:analog recorded Minidisc (MD, SP-Mode)SonicStage Version 3.1Minidisc Deck Sony MDS-JE700HiMD-Player Sony MZ-NH1while it's still not possible to upload analog recordings by SonicStage (v3.1) directly, I tried this:- connected the Deck with the HiMD Unit by optical link ("optical out" to "optical Line In")- played the Minidisc on my Minidisc Deck while I recorded it on my Hi-MD Unit in Hi-SP Mode (recording is digital!)- after this I could transfer the music (now on HiMD) by SonicStage to my Computer (note: it's only possible to transfer each file once)- then of course I used the great HiMD-Renderer to convert the files into wavI like this way more than recording music on my ComputerWell, it only works with analog recorded Minidiscs. If you've got a digitally recorded disc you will need to record your music (on your HiMD Unit) analog or through an SCMS-Stripper and then upload it by SonicStage.any other idea? I hope this post isn't too boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doublt you would be able to tell the difference.←or get a soundcard with optical in and play the MD through the deck straight into the PC...could cost a bit, but erases a lot of stepsand if you insist on doing it your way, why not record in PCM on the Hi-MD? this would eliminate the quality loss that a lossy format like Hi-SP still is...greetings, Volta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
