Mikey53 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hi,I have an internet radio show and I conduct interviews. I used my MZ-NH900 just this past weekend. I can download the ATRAC files using SonicStage 4.3 with no problem. Using Audacity I can convert them to either MP3 or WAV and the tracks play fine with Media Player on my PC. HOWEVER, when I import them into Cubase, a music editing suite, all I get is the sound of demonic, whispering squirrels - which is probably not a bad name for a Punk/Goth rock band I have downloaded the WAV Conversion Tool but it tells me that I need to install SonicStage 2.1 or higher. I have 4.3 which means that I should have no problem.The irony is that about a month ago, I successfully recorded a phone conversation and was able to import it into Cubase with no problem ... except that this was so laong ago that I Don't remember what I did right.Any advice that is forthcoming would be highly appreciated.Thanx,Mikey.

I save a Project as WAV , and it will actually show up with an Audacity icon on the file when in my prefs all wav files should open with QT , instead the ones that come from Audacity will open back in Audacity , I have to control klik and select "Open with" ,............. actually do that , open the file with Windows media or QT first , just play a little of it close it then import it to Cubase .Who Knows ! might work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running XP and all I have been able to find so far is the Mac Version. I know, "Try Mac and you'll never go back." Would you happen to know a way around this?

Would you happen to know a way around this?Maybe Marcnets HiMD Renderer instead . it should convert to a freeform WAV , somewhere on the forums here , I will look for it , or maybe someone will beat me to it and post the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 .Wav converter has long been built into SonicStage. It was an add-on to the 2.x versions, but it's just irrelevant for 4.x. That's why you can't install it. Instead of using Audacity, just use SonicStage and Save as .wav . I believe those are plain old .wav files. Hi-MD Renderer is here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=20395Renderer converts by rendering/playing back (at computer speed) and re-recording in the format you choose. SonicStage actually decrypts, so theoretically it should be better for .wav. Hi-MD Renderer is useful for all the other formats it can generate.
