Problem with transferring files from MD to PC (again?!)

[Alien_Poop]

Hey guys, it's been awhile since my last post but I was hoping you could help, as I'm getting quite desperate. I have just made a copy of a record onto my RH10 (in PCM), slapped on all the track marks (inserting and taking them off which as I understand is a kiss of death), and sorted through the songs and titled them in HiMD render, but now cannot transfer to my computer through sonic stage. I was running 3.3, and in the past 2 1/2 hours have uninstalled, reinstalled, downgraded to 3.2, all exhibiting the same strange problems. Basically, when I hit the transfer button, it just loads the disc again and just sits there...

I'm pretty sure it's the program as I've tried to use a 910 to upload the tracks, switched out usb cables, tried other recordings on other modes with and without track marks.

Here is some other information that may help; I've got around 7 GB left on my HD and am running on XP (thats about the extent of my knowledge on the specs of this computer at the time)

Any advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

edit: Sorry! Just realized I should have posted in the software discussion thread! Feel free to move it around or whatever. Thank you

Try a virgin copy without adding tack marks or information and see what happend. It seems the less you do on the recorder, the better are your chances of getting a good transfer..

How did you do your recording, through line/mic, or optical?

Good luck,

Bob

Are you able to play the recording back from the HiMD within SonicStage?

[Alien_Poop]

Thats the thing. I've tried to make several other recordings in different modes without touching them after they are written to the disc, only to have the same thing happen.

Also, I am able to play back the recordings on Sonic Stage and all the tracks sound fine.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to keep trying.

Are you trying to upload digital tracks recorded over USB, or line in/mic or optical recordings??

[raintheory]

I suggest trying first to use a different USB port on your computer, as this should reinstall the HiMD drivers if you haven't used that port before.

Failing that, and in a worst-case scenario, you can still get the recrdings to your computer (digitally, although realtime) using the TotalRecorder method since you are able to play the discs in SonicStage.

There may be others still to chime in with more suggestions, but I would start with trying a different USB port and see what happens.

Ok guys, weird thing just happened. I went into the options and enabled the hidden messages to display again and tried a transfer. It did that little prompt like it did you tried to get anything done the first time you opened the program after and install or update, and it worked!

Sorry for the trouble, but if in the strange instance that this happens to another, I hope you can refer to this thread and find your solution (and bang your head against the wall for the next hour or so, at least until you feel as if you have gained back your common sense back).

Thank you for all the help!
