hard-disc recorder to interface with SONAR 6?
in [Cakewalk]
|
From: Amazing Disgrace on 12 Aug 2008 10:28 Hello I have Sonar 6 HomeStudio. Friend of mine wants to get a hard-disc recorder, all in one kind of thing, maybe the yamaha or the Roland. Another friend has told him, he can record basic tracks at his house on his hard-disc thing, then rip the tracks to wavs and burn onto CD, then bring them over to my house. And load the wavs into a new file in SONAR and somehow, magically, SONAR will get all the wavs onto separate tracks and properly align them all. Is this true, can it be done, is it difficult, and, any recommendations for hard disc recorders? thanks for any replies -- http://www.myspace.com/amazingdisgracetheband

If the recorder he has allows you to burn the tracks as seperate files, then it's a simple case of importing the files into sonar. Hard to tell without knowing which model he is referring to. I used to use an akai dps12 and could export the tracks as individual files, then use a little utility that translated it from the dps to wave, finally import them into sonar. This allowed me to take the dps over to my singers house, have him lay down his tracks, bring it home and work on it in sonar. Most of them have that function nowadays though, dont they? My fostex mr8 comes with a wav manager to transfer the files to a pc, although I have to confess that I only took the thing out of the box to make sure it powered up, havent had a chance to use it yet. Just make sure that it records uncompressed in a resolution you are comfortable working in.

OK. Good to know. He could probably do that manually. How easy is it to import the wavs individually to a new track and get all the tracks to be sync'd at zero or whatever? Do imported wavs automatically start at the zero point or do i need to tell it to do that? thanks for all replies
