Make sure you backup your files via the backup utility, of course.

Sorry for my ignorance, how do I do that exactly with window XP? Where do I go?

Thanks, Noam

Try reinstalling via the directions in our Software Support forum.

[start] --> [Programs] --> [sonicStage] --> [sonicStage Backuptool]

You should do this regularly after bigger changes.

And of course before any Software-Update.

Try recording from LineIn or optical.

If that works, I would try reinstalling the application, if standalone recording doesn't work, check if the recording head has collected a load of dirt (dustball). If that isn't the case, the recorder might need service.

Thanks a lot. I'll try this as soon as I get home.

Another question: is there a way to transfer the files on SonicStage to another computer?

Another question: I want to switch to an Apple computer. This SonicStage is only for windows? Will I be able to transfer my files on my current windows XP SonicStage to an Apple computer?

Thanks, Noam

Transferring is possible by doing a backup on one machine and restoring from that backup onto the second machine.

However, the existing library on the second pc will be deleted in that process.

So, uploading only on one machine!

And I do see problems, if the library to be restored contains music purchased from the connect store,

as it is verified online during restore.

SonicStage does not run on MacOS. You might try it in a VMWare-session. VMWare emulates a different hardware-architecture, so it can run Windows on a Mac or a Mac on Linux etc.

However, that is slow.
