I hope what happened to me with my newly purchased DP-24 doesn't happen to any of you.
I worked for four weeks recording a song and laid down 24 tracks - and it was a long haul getting there.
Many hours and many takes, probably about 20 hours of work.
I maxed out the 2gb card that came with the unit and lo and behold I got a "FILE ERROR" - when the disk got full it corrupted the song
file and no amount of tech support or file recovery efforts have worked.
I tried copying the files to my computer, reformatting another card, transfering the files in to a newly created song, I finally got it to
transfer the files over through AUDIO DEPOT folder but none of the tracks will sync to each other.
Finally support told me to take the unit in to factory service along with the card to see if anything can be done, but after so many hours
of trying to recover files I'm just going to start over. By the time I'm done driving down there and leaving the unit for who knows how long
and then having to go pick it up - and even then it may not be corrected.
A lesson learned the hard way, friends:
From now on I'll use a 16gb flash card and also backup on my computer!
At least I think that way if a file got corrupted I might be able to reload from my previous backup, but this thing is pretty squirrelly
when it comes to accepting files.
Anyone else have this problem?
