chenners Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Novice recorder reporting problem with recording occurence #1. It was bound to happen sometime. I was taping an event last night and when I got home and listened to the recording, I got about a total of 20 minutes (a total of 5 songs) before my MD wigged out. I was able to record the rest of the show, but the songs were split into multiple tracks and there were gaps in between each track. Meaning that the songs were NOT complete and that I really ended up with clips and segments of the rest of the show. I'm a bit puzzled as to why this is. The only explanation I have is that I accidentally hit the "track" button on the MD, but that wouldn't edit out segments of the song/performance would it? I do have a refurbished MD, but that hasn't hindered me from recording before. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 It may be something more complicated, no doubt, but how was the battery strength? This happened to me once when the battery was near its end and the MD was stopping and starting. Also, is it possible you were hitting the pause button inadvertently? That could give you those gaps and the multiple tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
