YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: [313] I need to vent for a moment... Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 10:17:41 -0500 begin; /rant on; DJ's and Producers: Have you ever lost that "perfect" mix or track to something stoopid? Yes? Lemme tell you what happened last night: I was recording my new mix CD on my main PC. It took 4 bad starts to get into the groove, the 5 time was beautiful. My minimal techno grooves fit together, I mixed 3 confusing Terrance Dixon tracks in a row perfectly. Electro tracks were bangin; hell, just for kicks I dropped an old NWA track into the mix followed by some DJ Unknown. Ghetto Tech, followed by 2 or 3 house tracks and finishing up with 2 Rob Hood and 2 Jeff Mills tracks. It was all but perfect. I listened to it, noticed that I clipped my signal towards the end (a little digital distortion), but it was acceptable. Then I went to save it: Windows told me I ran out of virtual memory. It couldn't save it at all. I tried everything I could, moved whole application directories to my second drive to free up space. I still couldn't save. My main hard drive is 8GB, but only 5 of it is being used for Windows (the other 3 is for Linux). My workspace HD was just upgraded to 13GB. All of it is for Windows. If I had more space on my main drive (the one Windows uses for virtual memory) I could have saved the mix and I would be announcing to you all that it was completed and soon to be released. Here's the worst part about it all: 2 weeks ago I bought 2 new hard drives, a 13GB for my workspace and a 20GB for the main drive (15GB for Win98 and 5GB for Linux). My old work drive was failing and I managed to dump the data to the new 13GB drive. I put off installing the new main drive. Had I not procrastinated, none of this would have happened. It's not like this hasn't happened before. I lost 2 demo EP's to HD failure. I saved MIDI files and audio to the same drives. Gone. 1 of the drives got beat with a hammer in disgust. The whole time I was recording the new mix, my second PC was rendering the cover for the CD. I ended up posting it to my site anyways. (www.geocities.com/labwerx), thank you Clever_Shen for the CD's title. Ok... I'm done. Feelin much better. /rant off; end; --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
