Nov 09, 2002 08:20 pm dang. i know the feeling. when that happens i like to refocuss that newfound "energy" towards more music. Some of the coolest guitars riffs I've come up were born out of frustration and venting on my six-string.
Dude, I know it's rude and I shouldn't say it, but "save save save" whenever you think of it save your file.
Better luck this time! :O) -j
Nov 09, 2002 09:16 pm Ya, I lost a decade once too, but then I quite doing drugs...
Nov 10, 2002 03:48 pm Oh, yeah, I had it saved. Definitely had it saved. I wasn`t thinking and I accidentally deleted the folder it was saved in.
Oh well, I`m over it now. It was only 7 tracks. But it was all the time lost and stuff, making sure that the tracks were perfect that really upset me.
The joys of recording.
Nov 11, 2002 12:54 am you have an emachines 633, what is that running, Win98? have you checked the Recycle Bin?
Nov 11, 2002 04:00 pm Yeah, actually, this pathetic excuse for a computer is running quite well with Cubase. NO freezing up or anything.
When went to delete the folder, it said that it was too big to fit in the recycle bin (duh, first clue) and asked if I wanted to completely remove it from my computer. So I did. I had no idea my songs were in the folder. I thought they were in the one beside it.
Oh well, I`ve recorded the first 3 tracks again already. Although, I am having trouble getting this one to sound as good as the first.
Nov 11, 2002 05:07 pm you know, i have this friend who insists that *nothing* is bad. this guys believes that every event is destined to happen. now i dont believe in destiny, but i do like what he thinks about bad events. he says that even terrible tragic things are meant to teach us and make us stronger. maybe what i'm trying to say is eveytime we're forced to do something over it just hones our skills and teaches us a lesson.
hehe, well im only running 98se on a 700MHz PIII and this thing freezes everytime my audio apps start fighting over the sound drivers.
Nov 11, 2002 06:05 pm Yeah, after the initial shock of such a tragedy, I decided it wasn`t quite as bad as I made it to be. I think the main lesson I learned here was not to absent-mindedly wonder about my computer with sleep in my eyes and delete folders I think unnecessary.
I have Win98 on my computer, but Cubase is the only thing I have on there. I reformatted the hard drive and installed Win98 and Cubase. I use that computer for recording only. Fortunately, My PC and my Echo MIA soundcard seem to be very compatible so far. I use a laptop for my web use and gaming.
Nov 11, 2002 06:37 pm he! the most damaged i've incurred was total loss of data on two separate hard discs by way of viral infection. the funny thing is, i still havn't learned to back things up
Nov 12, 2002 04:37 am i lost nine months of work on my album when my motherboard died, and the machine was so old noone could get a new one for it!
Nov 12, 2002 06:19 pm umm...hate to break it to you but you just put the hard drive in the new computer and it should work fine.... unless it's a really old harddrive where they sometimes go bad if you unplug them...hope you still have it sitting around :)
and in really old I mean before they put the processor in the computer...and I doubt you were recording on an 8086
Nov 12, 2002 08:18 pm Yes, zek is right. You can just pop that HD right into a new PC and transfer the file's yo want to keep right on over to the new PC's drive.
