i feel like crying.
time for HDD.
there has got to be a way to get it off of there...i had a corrupted sd card once that had a shit ton of important pictures on it ...so i bought a sd card reader and i was able to retrieve the pics off it...i know that an sd card is way differant then a cf but its worth a google!!!
damn that sucks though...
i had my f3 button freak out on me for awhile and left it as is...every once in a while it would track - out of nowhere while in the main screen... well one day i was on the load screen and it freaked..well the f3 is the format key when in load/save...needless to say all gone (only 5 beats ) but damn its a gut wrenching feeling..
a habit i got into after that is upon completing a beat i immediatly copy the entire memory from the beat into a file on my computer...so that no matter what happens on that cf card i have it to put on another memory card...another thing i do is save all my beats to one memory card that i do not use...this is in case the computer ever dies...and lastly i back up to my external hard drive...so in total there are three copies of every beat i make...not counting the multitrack session and final recorded beat..
i know it seems like much but work, but it honestly takes about 5 min. after every song. i know how shitty that is...feel for you man!!!
