memory card (general)

[marcacho]

Hey, all. Just got my MR-8 a couple weeks ago, but I have a memory card question.
I recorded 3 tracks on 1,2, and 3, then bounced them to track 7/8. The song's about 5 minutes long and I'm using the 128 MB flash card. In normal mode it's about 24 min of recording length, but I only had enough memory to barely fit in the bounce to track 7/8! Didn't have enough to convert to WAV. Does this mean there's only enough memory on that dumb card to record only 3 tracks and bounce? I tried deleting tracks 1-3 after bouncing thinking I could free space, but it didn't. What do I have to do in terms of memory (time) to get one simple song recorded and then converted to stereo WAV? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks

The system has an undo file, it;s that undo file that is your undoing (lol). What you need to do is "delete unused" that will free up lots of space. (menu>song>delete unused)

I find I have to "delete unused" real often especially when I start to creep up on 4 tracks then it is time to bouce. I am becoming a boucing maniac

You know its weird sometimes when I import Mr-8 tracks to my PC, I seem to have more room left on my card even though I have not deleted the tracks off of the MR-8 card yet. ANyone else experience this? Not that I am complaining

Thanks guys, I'll do that. I'm a home recording novice, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of all this stuff soon. Peace
