Ubuntu/Win/Sonic Stage

I use and prefer Feisty Fawn -- the latest Linux release on the Ubuntu distro. It is on the desktop that I do my audio edits -- on AUDACITY.

But...I have to use SonicStage on another machine that is networked to my Ubuntu computer.

While I used to use Wubi for my windows interface with Ubuntu (on the same pc) I was wondering if anyone deals the same way with their files?

I upload from my HiMD and convert the files to WAV on the Windows computer (running Vista)

Then I use the netrrok to transfer the WAV files to my Ubuntru desktop.

Can anyone think of shortcuts as it takes a while for WAV files to be transferred across this network as i cannot access the WAV files directly through AUDACITY.

I'm running Samba as my network helper...

My HiMD is MZ NH700 -which I gather is not suitable to be accessed through a WINE rework.

Someone was able to get SS to work under WINE but I cannot remember who it was. The thread is here somewhere. Maybe some of the other linux users remember who it was?

That's why we have a search function ;) (Although the results with SS on WINE seem to be mixed)

You could always record real time from the Hi-MD headphone out to a line in on the Linux box. That's a way around it. :P

Seriously, SS is so proprietary it is not even funny. It is going to take Sony themselves to make a version that would work with Linux. We all know that is never going to happen. Maybe transferring them on a USB thumb drive would be faster?

Yes. I thought about that . But that defeats the point of the exercise as in the process I pick up the sound floor on the computer and end up with a noiser recording of less quality than MD straight to WAV.

Voila! Yes Thats' the option that makes the most sense given the time factor. I should also edit on the HiMD too before I upload my audio-- get rid of the rubbish that way.
