Buzzex Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hi guys,Im new at this forum and find it very interesting here... I bought my first portable md recorder, a sony MZ-R55 quite a few years ago. This because i was mixing as a hobby and wanted to record my mix sessions. With this recorder (old skool) i had to record using the line in of the unit. If i wanted to make a minidisc to listen to some songs on my way to work, I would use winamp to select the songs i would like to put onto the minidisk and just record (using the line in) while playing the playlist.Sometimes, especially when recording older songs, i used a pitch control plugin for winamp to make a song play a bit faster. I still own this unit and this method of recording worked fine but since i was recording with the line in, it obviously took alot of time.Now i recently bought a sony MZ-NF810 from a friend. I was very happy with it, since i could use LP2 and LP4 functions to put more music on the minidiscs. Also the software (Sonicstage) was very nice, since transfering songs to a minidisk took much less time!The only problem i have now is this: As i mentioned earlier, i sometimes boosted the pitch off the older songs i was recording on minidisk. But i can't seem to find a function with Sonicstage to do this. Is there like a software plugin or something that can adjust pitch settings for a track you are recording to a minidisc or any other way to get this effect? Coz i would hate to go back to line in recording just for this.Greetz,Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayzray Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 are you changing the "Pitch"; or, the "Speed" only and leaving the pitch the same.i don't know WHY you would want to change the pitch; but can understand changing the "Speed" and leaving the "Pitch" alone.*there are many ppl out there with "Perfect" pitch that you would drive crasy; including every "Karokee" enthuziast!

Buzzex Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ok so i guess there is no add on program or something like that to add some speed to a song?Greetz,Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) You can't do it directly in Sonic Stage (that I know of). You could use Audacity to adjust the speed of, say a wav file then re-import into SS. Keep in mind you would be "hard coding" the speed of playback into the file.
