The short version: It works!
The medium version: Transferring files from the Hi-MD to the Mac
using Virtual PC actually works. I've just recorded some sounds on my
brand new Sony MZ-NH1 using my WL183 mics, connected it to my Dual G5
Mac with Virtual PC running Windows XP and SonicStage 3.0, connected
the NH1 to the Mac, and then transferred the two recordings to
SonicStage.
I chose to import the files as WAV, saved them on my Virtual
PC/Windows XP desktop, and then dragged them straight from VPC to the
Mac desktop. Opened them in Peak...and things are looking mighty find
indeed.
Things take a bit of time, but not as much as I initialled feared.
I've only tested this a couple of times, but I think the speed is
about 1:1 (a little, but not much, slower when including the WAV
conversion).
In short: This is brilliant. Digital transfer of recordings from
minidisc has been on the agenda for a while for me, and now that I
can transfer PCM-recordings digitally to my Mac things are certainly
looking up.
My Mac is running OS X 10.3.8, the latest version of VPC, and has 1GB
RAM installed. The Hi-MD was immediately recognized by Virtual PC,
and transfer(s) went without a hitch.
So, now you now. ;)
