burrenyoga Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Hi,Can MZ-RH1 upload WAV file via USB onto a PC, and then i can burn it to a CD ?I am looking for a solution which i can use to record a voice using microphone. And then upload to a PC.... preferably via USB, as a WAV file. I then want to record the WAV file onto a CD.I am trying to read between the lines that say i must use SonicStage to upload my recordings via USB. I am suspicious, that the files i upload will not be in a WAV file format, that i can then burn to CD via Nero burning software of some other CD burning software.Any advice appreciated.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicStage is required. You Transfer the files via SonicStage into My Library. Then, in SonicStage, you highlight the file and Save in .wav format. The .wav files are free of any restrictions, like any other .wav files, and can be burned, edited, converted, sliced, diced, whipped, chopped or pureed. You can actually upload and convert to .wav in one click if you set SonicStage's advanced Options so that every file you Transfer is automatically converted to .wav. But I recommend doing the upload and conversion separately because SonicStage sometimes stumbles when it tries to do both at once. Why not download and install SonicStage (look in Downloads) and take a look at it? Make sure when you install it that it doesn't make itself the default player for all your music files. Save in .wav is under Tools. Automatic .wav conversion is under Tools/Options/Transfer/Hi-MD/Advanced.SonicStage is not the most streamlined program ever, but despite what you can read on this forum in old posts about old versions--let's not even think about the 2.x versions--it now works quite reliably for the vast majority of users. How obsessive about fidelity are you? You could get good mono voice recordings, 320 kbps .mp3 files, with the built-in microphone on an iRiver T30 (the red ones are 1GB) for under $100, and a firmware upgrade makes it drag-and-drop UMS. It's line-in only, however, so you can't just plug in your own mic. If you want to make hi-fi recordings, mic plus MD is superb. Also, you don't need the RH1. You can also use the MZ-NH700, available for $180 from http://www.minidiscaccess.com and probably a little cheaper on eBay. Just don't use the old SonicStage disc that comes with it--download the latest version. Edited November 19, 2006 by A440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
