After you have recorded the song, bounced the all your tracks to tracks 7 and 8, why do you have to convert it to a wav file?

If you dont convert the song to a wav file, you can still hear it in full on your computer except its named 11 or something like that. I dont hear a difference in sound either, its also half as big as it would be if you converted it to wav.

Anybody have an answer?
 
If I were you,,, and this is good because you can use more room on the card,,, Record your tracks , bounce record more etc, then just transfer them to PC and do all of your editing there, Easier and after you mix them down on the PC, you can save as an MP3 or what have you! Hope that helps!

To my understanding, all of the tracks are wave files anyways, right? When you bounce and transfer from 7 and 8, you are basically creating a stereo wave file to play back on your PC, thus there shold be no difference in the sound quality.

I know, the mr-8 booklet said it is neccessary to covert the files to .wav format...my question why? because i dont see a need for it.
 
I guess there is no need unless you want a stereo track to edit in your computer. I doubt many of us bother worrying about it. After all, we are all editing and mixing in our computers.
 
you don't have to create the stereo wave file. It takes up a lot of room too. But I do it since I don't edit on PC. I just transfer it and then convert to mp3.

Before I create the st. wav file on it, I copy the song to pc, and then delete the tracks 1 thru 6 so I have the room.
 
If you bounce to 7/8, you'll have two mono wavs. Converting to wav just creates a single stereo wav file.
 
Somtimes if I am recording a mono track off the radio or something, i use extended mode and then convert to a mono mp3, no need to convert to stereo wave in the unit. It only goes up to an hour tho....:(
 
Hello,
I find out that I have to load the files track-1 to 8 direct to my PC. If I mix bounce and so on in the MR-8, I get more internal noise from the MR-8-mixing-unit on my records. The mixing-unit I use only to arrange a monitor-signal when recording the next track(s).

Good recs.

Tom
