Hi there,

I recently purchased the MZ-RH1.

Previously I had an older model that I would have to record realtime to my Sony.

I was using SonicStage Mastering Studio.

Now, it appears I'm forced to use the SonicStage (not the mastering studio) to download the shows I'm recording.

I want to be able to edit it. Track it out, cut out dead air, etc.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't just make it a .WAV file and see if I can edit it in the Mastering Studio...

However, I thought I would see if there were any idea/info about software that's good for editing.

I also can't find out where my original files are going to (that are being downloaded...) but that's a haven't spent a ton of time looking sidenote.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can e-mail me at thelyl (@) yahoo.com

Thanks!!!

Yes you can have the transferred files saved as .wav files in the location of your choice and edit them to your hearts content outside anything Sony tries to restrict you with.

Personally I use Adobe Audition for trimming the ends, and fixing any transients. I also use it to mark and name tracks in the wav file. Audition also saves in lossy formats for my day to day use on the PC. I then use Cuelist Tool to create a cue file that EAC uses to burn cd's. I then save the wav, peak file and cue file to an external drive. After a while you can get pretty efficient at processing a show. I'm sure others have their own rituals/systems. This has worked well for me over the last year during which I have recorded over 100 sets.

Audition may be overkill for live recordings and you might get away with free stuff like Audacity if all you are doing is trimming and track marking. I got it originally when I was digitising my vinyl and the other tools were really useful.

The New Audacity is pretty smooth , A LOT of bugs have been fixed , and if you stretch the window across the screen you can also stretch the Rec Meters so that they are nice and long , that way you can get a littel more finite with adjustments to the audio.

The noise reduction has been improved to a lot smoother
