I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but I know everyone in here has had some frustrating times in home recording that they may want to share. I'll go first...
Back in august I recorded a metal band on my vs-1880. The band loved the results, but before we got around to tracking all of the vocals, they parted ways with their singer. No big deal for me, I already got paid with a guitar that the guitarist gave me for the recording. While they were searching for a new singer their guitarist told me about how he was about to order a nuendo system. Thinking he was wanting to record the band himself, I backed up all of their material to CDs and put them away.
Fast forward to a day ago. I put my VS-1880 on Ebay so I could get money for a PC DAW. I tell this band's guitarist about it and he says "Is there a way you could back up our stuff so we can put our new singers vocals over it?" I say "Yea I can transfer it to my mom's computer with cakewalk and put it on my new DAW when I get it." Later that night someone buys my VS with buy it now, So today I had to rush over here to try to back everything up. Of course my moms computer is way to slow. So guess what I get to do now?
I am in the process of burning an audio CD of every song, but to keep the tracks seperate, I am putting guitar 1 on the left channel of song 1, guitar 2 on the Right channel, Kick on left channel of song two, snare on right etc etc etc... So each song is going to end up having about a 12 track CD all its own. I just hope when I get my PC DAW I can import all of the tracks seperatley so I can mix it
Ok lets hear some more horror stories. I know some people have more interesting ones than mine...
