I am moving music into the computer thru various means, and I am wondering if Renomee needs its music to be wav's, MP3's or does it matter? I may record vocalsand/or instruments, and save them to CD to input to a video, and wonder what restrictions, if any , exist for what kinds of music files the ren will take?

Jim,

As you have a choice I would use WAV files.

I think MP3 was added with SE6 or 7 so you could use them, but the fidelity would be better with WAV files.

You can transfer them with CD-RWs to the Renommee.

wav, is what wanna use, as I have the room, but I think it might be better to record in 16 bit, rather than 24. CD burner software is having trouble doing the burn. What do you know about that? I was coming from a record album, played into a digital recorder, saved to an SD card, and read into the harddrive. How's that for a route?

So what format did the digital recorder use for capture?

Digital recorder used whatever I told it. It had about 6 diferent wav settings and a bunch more MP3, plus a variable bit rate if I wanted it. This is why I wondered if I should record in 16 bit, instead of 24, at whatever sampling rate. Seems like the burner's problem might've had to do with that issue, dunno.

16 bit it is! Ran off a good recording at 44.1/16 bit and CD burner went with it. Now, it needs some bass. Guess I'll tweak in audio post at the Ren, right? This is making a recording off vinyl into a Zoom H2 Audio recorder, and it did a great job!
Ran the wires straight off the table into the recorder, no problem.

Well in Bogart SE we have an Equalizer, but in Smart Edit SE your best bet is Tone Control with which you can effect a cruder, broader range (ie: low end to boost bass).

Tone Control is part of the Audio Effect Pack which is an optional software.
