i ask this question because i have been through a lot of crap. at home and in other studios. from dumb engineers who are egotistical to quipment not syncing up to studio owners trying to gank and get over to rappers forgetting the lyrics and doing 4,786,452,989,231 takes.
this morning i went through something that was going to set me back BIG time. i had this track i was working on (for the past 3 days now) and i made all the sounds in the track by myself. so i was going through the song and writing down where i saved the sounds because i didnt want to erase my other user created sounds. so i spit the disk out and i load another disk in so i can load up some other songs (that had other sounds i created) ,write down the patch numbers and make sure that i didnt erase my sounds.
so after i loaded up the other disk i spit it back out because i forgot to load up a song from the first disk (and check for user patches). when i went to load the file nothing came up. when i tried to do disk save it said unformatted disk.
12 songs down the drain. my head dropped and my heart sank to the depths of hell. all the other tracks were so so or cool but none of them were like the one i took 3 days on (tweeking sounds). that was the ONLY one on the disk that i REALLY cared about.
so when i saw formatted disk i got an idea. lets load that same disk on the pc and see whats all on it. as soon as i loaded the stuff on the pc all the files popped up. i tried to copy all of them but it said error 1036 or something like that. so i fired up cubase and imported the midi file (of the beat i worked my ass on). it popped up. i also saved that and the actual song on another 3.5 (and didnt get the error message).
something on the disk is corrupt but i dont know what it is. i have lost tracks before but not like this. i was not prepared to make this beat again (it would have been impossible). ive lost tracks and remade them b4 but this is something different.
i was slippin also because normally i make 3 copies of a beat on different disks but i had 4 versions of this beat on the corrupt disk.
i just thank GOD that i was able to recover this track.
:H:
