Hey Fostex peeps,
We have 2 Fostex D80s and a D160 synced up in our studio.
Yesterday whilst we were recording vocals on a track the D80s kept dropping out of record, juddering for a bit and then continuing. I timed the dropouts and they occured roughly a minute into the recording from whichever point we started.
They were doing it on simple playback too, no recording channel armed so we can't even mix the thing down
Checking the ABS time left it was around 3 mins of time on the hard drives left. Could this be the cause of the drop outs?
Is there anyway of defragging the drives. Or does backing up and re-formatting get rid of 'dirty drive' syndrome.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Cheers,
Rich.
