Day 10... all the sounds went through some form of degradation... S950 and VX90 doing most of the work, but the SP 303 kicked in for a little more juice.
Fought with my MPC for too long and threw in the towel at this point...
The problem... I'm not sure what happened, but I accidentally hit solo, and then it filled the track list with 125'ish empty, but filled... tracks. To get things working again the way I wanted, I needed to delete all of the blank tracks without accidentally deleting the content that I had made. I am not really sure what happened here, but I at least kind of got the track back again.
