I've got audacity and can use it fine, but i cannot seem to get the rhythm files through card manager. My recorded tracks come over ok but the pre set beats are lost. I prefer not to bounce the tracks together on the ps 02 because i like to tinker with them seperately.

Can anyone help me solve the issue?

I would be grateful for any clues. Thanks.

molotov,

You need to bounce the rhythm tracks separately. They are not stored as sound files on the card and can't be imported directly. Bounce them without anything else playing, then you can convert them with Card Manager.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much. It's alarming to get a beat just right and then lose it in translation.

As long as you have Audacity, or other, you can export individual tracks using Card Manager and play with them there.

You could make your drum/bass tracks, and bounce them before using Card Manager to separate v-takes.

Of course another way to export drum/bass tracks without bouncing is to play them out through the line output and into your computer through its line input digital-analog-digital, but that will introduce a little noise.

You're better off bouncing them (drum/bass) each to separate v-takes, then exporting those separate v-takes to the compuer using Card Manager.

You probably already know this, but to silence either drum or bass, go to effect, then hit play and bring the fader down to zero for whichever you want to "mute" on playback.
