mmilovan Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 What is the actual state of transfering HiMD PCM wav to computer via USB cable now? Hi people, I am interested in buying some of these HiMD models (especially for field recording), but I wonder if something has changed in process of straightforward trouble free transfer from HiMD to hard disc uncompressed wav files? I've learned from SONY's reference manual for MZ-NH700 that program can allow only ONE transfer/upload of such files to PC. What is the meaninig of this sentence? Can we rally transfer wav recorded by Hi Minidisc with USB cable while not recording with soundcard and programs for recording? Thanks.

mutant1345 Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 hello and welcome to the mdcf....this is a question that the answer to comes with a problem you can upload the recording once and only once at highspeed off of you himd player/recorder...after that if you lose the file on yer pc you have no more computer file, the problem is after its on the oc its not a wav file its an omg file that is so far unconvertable to wav... though we have some people in the forums working on it now if you take a look at the thread called "upload recordings faster than real time" then youl see what i mean, we may have some possible ways to convert to wav soon...or we wwill have to wait for sony to feel like releasing the wav converter for the many people who need it (supposedly this fall but yeah right) so you can upload at high speed , you can play the file on yer pc and put it on an atrac cd or other mds and soon you wioll be able to make audio and mo3 cds out of wav converted forms of that file hope that answeres what you were asking....

Does it mean there is only one file transfer enabled at realtime 1:1 or yours "highspeed off" means about 2-2.5x speed file transfer (way faster than 1:1 realtime)I've read in some review of this product?

mutant1345 Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 highspeed meaning transfer via usb from the analog recorded file on your hi md recorder/player to the computer into the sonic stage program, the speed is i believe greater than 1x or 2x (i think it depends on what format you recorded in, i.e. 48k hilp or hisp or pcm) all of which i believe transfer back to pc at higher than realtime speeds, but as i said the file wont be a wav file, but an omg file which you cant do anything with except transfer to other sony devices, untill the wav converter comes out im afraid you cant do much about that problem... hope that clarifies things further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
