Combine Problem When Importing MDLP w/ RH1

[javertim]

There was a topic on here that described my problem in detail, but I assume it was deleted because I can no longer find it ...

Anyway, my problem lies in that whenever I upload MDLP recordings to my computer with my RH1, there would be little areas where about one second worth of information was dropped out. Thus, if a lyric was "the world is growing strange," it would sound something like "the worl--ange." Now, these are recordings that I recorded with a mic and not downloaded NetMD recordings. The transfer window in SonicStage says they are NetMD recordings, but they weren't even recorded on a NetMD recorder. Oh, well.

So, I recently realized something ... When recording, I used to set have the recorder make an automatic track every three minutes in order to quickly go to any part of the recording I wanted to immediately after the performance. And, guess what! -- All the dropped samples happen at the area of the track mark. So, when listening to the recording via SonicStage and the phones-out jack on the RH1, the recording plays seamlessly. But when I upload to my computer and use the "combine" function, the problems start. I have also tried to save each individually uploaded file as a WAV and then combine them in Adobe Audition myself, but this produces a very audible gap/clip between combined files.

Does anyone have a solution for me? When I upload Hi-MD recordings with the RH1 and use the combine feature everything works fine (even when combining upwards of 80 tracks at once). No idea what to do. :-(

Thanks!

If all else fails you could try combining them on the recorder prior to uploading...

I knew I was forgetting something ... I've tried doing this, but see no option on the recorder or how to do it in the manual.

[raintheory]

with the unit in pause, move to the trackmark you want to remove and press "t. mark" on the RH1.

Thanks! I tried that and it worked on both the RH1 and the RH910. However, now when I try to upload the disc, it gets to about 20% and then continuously starts over again. Any ideas what's going on here? ... Sorry to be so needy, I'm just trying to realize the full capabilities of my RH1 and so far the legacy uploading feature has been nothing but a headache. Thanks again.

ETA: Okay, so I just let it do it's thing (starting over and all) and it eventually uploaded the whole thing without any problems regarding track marks (well, I erased them on the disc), etc. Thanks for all your help, Raintheory! :-)

Another possibility is to use... Adobe Audition! Yes, you may get gaps/clips between tracks (these are actually created by SS, not AA), but you may then zoom in on them, and delete whatever you don't want. AA is really good in combining tracks when using the Open Append function.

The whole problem is due to the good old trackmark misplacement "feature" of ATRAC3[plus].

Yes, I tried zooming in with Audition, but no matter what I did I was not able to clear out the click that occurred every three minutes. It seems that whenever a file was saved as .WAV from SonicStage, some tiny little fragment of information was lopped off the end.
