mgdimo Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Friends,Please don't nail me (not that you would) for asking the following questions. I just don't have time to comb through these wonderful forums like I used to. (I realize I've been here for a while now. Lots of new experts- and I mean that sincerely!) I would appreciate if you could either answer my questions outright, or direct me to the relevant thread(s).SHAMEFUL QUESTION #1I have Sonic Stuper v. 3.2. How do I maximize from here? 3.4 first, then to the stratosphere? If you please, what do I do, step by step.SONIC STAGE ANNOYANCE #1Say I record a gig of mine, and there are 11 tracks worth of songs in one set. I have to copy and paste a title either to "artist" or to "album" for every song so I can insure it gets to the right place. I don't enjoy doing this kind of thing in 'my library.' All my tracks are jumbled in there already. I'm trying not to confuse the new with the disorganized old. Know what I mean? Am I missing something here? Or, is this annoyance taken care of in later versions of Sonic 'Supremacy.'P.S. I only use my nh900 for live recording.SHAMEFUL QUESTION #2This one is really embarassing! When I update software, any software including Canon and the likes, from say 3.2 to 4.x (or incrementally as I know one should), does old stuff (files, etc) EVER get trashed? This has always worried me. When it gets to the point of "REMOVE PROGRAM" I'm always afraid my precious pictures/recordings/etc. will somehow go too. Someone tell me it's ok?Thanks, community, for taking my questions seriously. I'll try and hang around more...and even contribute something worthwhile. Especially since I'm heavily considering an RH1 these days. Heavily. Meantime, I have some recordings and photos up in the gallery to check out. My progressive (or, "prog") rock band is called IZZ. izznet.com. Add one little bambino to the photo of me and my wife with our three on the beach. Yeah, the little dude was born on 5/3/07. ( A FOURTH reason why I don't have time to comb around here!)Thanks so much!GREG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I don't think any SonicStage update will help you on the library problem. Do you have Group on when recording? Then you should be able to title the group with SonicStage or on the unit itself (under Edit). That way, at least you will upload separate groups/folders into SonicStage. If you're not using group, you're going to get a bunch of Untitled, but you can use Date Imported (click on the header) and it will sort by when you uploaded the files. The best SonicStage versions are 3.4 and 4.2. Version 4.3 is for MS Vista. Here's a link to a copy of the 3.4 disc that came with the RH1--it's a big file, over 200 MB, so unless you have broadband don't bother with it. http://s15.quicksharing.com/v/8783199/SS3.4RH1.iso.htmlYou'll need Nero or some other program to burn the ISO to a CD. Then just insert the CD and follow instructions to install. It should over-write or delete the SonicStage program files that are already on your computer. Your recordings are in a different folder--probably called Packages--than your SonicStage programs. So it's unlikely that upgrading the program will trash them. But with 3.0 your recordings are encypted, so you have to be careful with them. And SonicStage is such an iffy thing that you should always use the Backup Tool (under Tools of course) to copy your recordings before you upgrade. If you use the Backup Tool, you probably won't need it. If you dont....-------------On another note: Does anyone know which version added File Conversion Tool, which un-encypts .oma files, to SonicStage? I use 4.2 now, and that has it, but I don't remember if any of the 3.x versions had it. After using the File Conversion Tool, you can just copy (with Windows Explorer) recordings from the SonicStage library and play them on any computer with SonicStage and the .oma codecs. If it's not in 3.4, that would be a very good reason to upgrade to 4.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgdimo Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks dude. You are always so helpful here. Is there a 3.4 version without the connect store? Again, I only do live recording so I don't need any of that other stuff getting in the way. Anyone? Thanks again as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wish I could help but I am not a SS user , I am on a Mac , ... BUT I will agree with 440 on the backup issue but what I would do is make Audio CD's out of everything before you do . Just in case , that way you will still have Audio files to work with.

Ishiyoshi Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Is there a 3.4 version without the connect store?SonicStage of Asia-Pacific and JEB version comes without the CONNECT Music Store module. For your reference, you can remove the Music Service module by deleting the EMD entry within SonicStage's registry.--> locate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sony Corporation\SonicStage\EMD]; then delete it. That should take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
