guyj1 Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 In SS you can play the MD's while connected through the USB cable. If I open Soundforge and record in real time what is being played am I capturing a digital or analogue signal through the USB cable? Is this just the same as running a cable between the headphone out of my unit and the line in on my soundcard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e1ghtyf1ve Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It's digital, and not the same as running a cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyj1 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 It's digital, and not the same as running a cable.So if I used this method to transfer some older Atrac3 SP mode recordings I made on a pre Hi-MD unit would I be getting a better quality recording than if I had transferred through an analog cable?I guess what I still don't understand is if there is a loss of fidelity by using this method as opposed to my unit being capable of digitally uploading the non Hi-MD file to my computer...

The Low Volta Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 yes as the program will record what comes out of your soundcard...so it is processedwith digital transfer or with the program Total Recorder (this catches the digital signal before it enters the soundcard) you won't have this step inbetween so it's purer... but whether you hear the difference, that's something elsebesides, I always thought you couldn't play pre-HiMD recordings through USB so that would rule out this method completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just played my Hi-MD discs through it. I guess this would make it less than a worthy method to try since you can upload Hi-MD recordings already to your pc.Thanks for the info!
