minispecs Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Okay, so I heard the recording the same night...well rather I ffwd'd through it and it sounded fine, it was there at any rate. Now I can't find a disc that has the live stuff on it. Has anyone lost a whole recording? Then the next night, I thought I was fine, but it only turned out one song. That was forgivable I thought since it was down my skirt and I didn't take much care. But one song out of the whole night? I've recorded whole shows before!This is with my new MZ-RH10 I'm so completely bummed. How could the whole thing disappear!!?? This is highly abnormal. Is there one completely delete button that is easier to access when you're not paying attention?Sobminispecs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDann Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well, Monday night I lost the end of one song, the entire next song and the start of the third song becuase some guy kicked out my mic plug from the battery box.. grrrr.. I CAN get an alternative source for the show, but what I want to do is just PATCH my copy with the missing material. (i.e. find the part of 'Feel like a stranger' that is closest to where i lose it and it distinct, paste from there to the part of 'Baby blue' that I have that is usable, then use the rest of my recording. Does anyone have any ideas of software to do so?(by the way, this was Ratdog, with String Cheese Incident, and SCI came out fine, as did the majority of Ratdog.. just those 2 half songs and one whole song.. grrrr...

A440 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Audacity will do this. Upload the recordings, save as .wav, open with Audacity. Select (hold down the shift key) the chunk you want, copy it and paste it onto the other reocording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other recording that didn't turn out, I have no idea what happened there, but that was probably user error too...however the recording is acting funny while playing back, which makes me suspicious of the disc. Why oh why do I always mess up the most important recordings while the ones I could care less about go well? Ah well, no worries...thanks for playing! I'm such a doofus.minispecs (panicking for nothing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Why oh why do I always mess up the most important recordings while the ones I could care less about go well? Mini--We've all messed up important recordings. The other day I lost about three hours of music because the battery in my battery module was starting to give out--so I got three hours of increasing distortion and pure static. Of course, it happened after I'd checked out the recording of the opening act. It happens. All you can do remind yourself that you weren't supposed to be recording anyway. Perhaps that music was just fated to disappear into the air--the historical fate of music since time began. A440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmachine Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 You're not alone. Yesterday i messed up a recording - picked up the mic at home but forgot to take the recorder with me. Also had the recorder's battery dying during a recording more than once. Oh well, i guess we learn from mistakes.A440, you're using a battery module with microscopic batteries, right? Never had the (standard sized 9V) battery in my module dying yet. If so, i guess it will die very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go for a good long time--I'd guess 50 to 100 hours--but I'm sure a full-sized 9V would be better. It's the old size-vs.-functionality battle.
