I noticed that Fostex has posted version 1.05...this might be old news to everyone else.

In keeping with their history of keeping us in the dark, I can't find any announcement or release notes. C'mon now...I know release notes are a pain to produce, but where's the love?

Anyone have info on additions / improvements / regresssions?
 
I went for quite some time before I realized they had released the Wave Manager. Were it not for this forum, I'd still be in the dark with no word from Fostex. Thanks for the heads-up.....I wonder if the upgrade consists anything useful?

I "heard" that it just allows different brands of cards and resolves some card issues. But, that is just what I heard. I'm sticking with v1.03 until I know exactly what v1.05 does. Mine is working fine now with the current version.
 
v 1.05

hi lads n lassies
well i just gave up and scrubbed the tracks from my CF i was goin to try and play with on the N Tracks demo on the pc.
just couldnt take it anymore.
It was just infuriating after over an hour spent trying to put one track where it should be in the song.
it appears i will have to console myself with getting a bigger CF card and staying within the sad confines of the wee red box of doom.
thanks for helpin me along a few weeks ago BdBuck And Gospel
especially,but ive failed!
For now at least,,,,,,,
 
I've had my mr8 for about a month and today I finally figured out how to transfer "Fostex Fever" over to the n-trx on my puter!!!
GO ME!
 
MonsterPop,
Don't give up, you are "way" further along than I.
Every night after work I read and re-read help files untill I'm blind and all i've accomplished transfering the damn demo to n-trk.
You've actually laid tracks? You're my hero! It'll probably be 3 more months before I get that far...
 
MR8

Hehehe,,thanks mate!
ive only done two songs on the mr8,,both of which im quite happy with but i CAN NOT get it together with the editing on the pc thing it seems. this is despite a few of the felas helpin me along.
i got as far as getin the tracks into the N Track sthing(ALL FRICKIN 50 OF EM)managed to bin the useless ones,,,but could not get the bloody thing s to go where they were meant to go.
so ive chucked it in!
Ive been really lazy and not touched the wee red box for ages now,so i must get back into it soon.ps,,i was gonna post one on Nowhere Radio,,but i cant get in cos it tells me im usin the wornd pasword or username or sumthin.
Jeez,,see what i mean,,im jinxed!
you probably shouldnt be talkin to me in fact,,just in case!
 
MonsterPop, help me understand something... when you transfered the wav files to n-trk they were outa sync?
 
mr8

well if you mean did they transfer in the correct order,no.
when i thinned down the crap from what i wanted to keep i managed to get my backing track of drums,bass and mandolin onto tracks one and two of N Tracks,
And i only managed that cos they were the biggest ones on the screen so were obviously the full song tracks.
after that its anyones guess what the deal is with it.
as i say,,i spent over an hour TWICE just trying to move a guitar track to the correct place in the song,,,to no avail.and try as i might i couldnt find any help within N TRacks to tell me how to.
so ive just given up mate,,its doing my brain in.
send me a PM and i will give you my email ,,its quicker.
of course,ive NEVER used the pc for any music stuff,,and i am NOT atchy minded person. i dont read music,,,,,im generally none the wiser about what chords and notes im playin either.
so maybe im just too dumb for it,,i dunno
 
well dont feel bad. I don't know how to edit my profile so as to send a pm heh. When I transfered files to n-trx they lined up automaticly.... just dumb luck i suppose?
 
Monsterpop the next time you record something erase the tracks that are not keepers and then do "delete unused". You can then go ahead and transfer the keeper or wait till you get a whole song of keeper tracks.

Dew, I think you edit you profile by clicking the "user cp" button which is at the top of the screen along with register, calendar, members, etc.
 
mr8

Hey Gospel,,
the thing is though mate, i WAS doing that all along before i put them ont oth epc but lo and behold,,FIFTY bloomin tracks!
GRRR! I dont understand it at all.
AND now that i have Windows XP the pc doesnt like the card reader and i still dont have a USB cable to connect it with,AND by the time i do the bloomin N Tracks demo period will be up! WAAAAGH! I can feel that its my destiny to be stuck inside the wee red box for ever!
DOH!
 
Man, if you got XP now go get that USB cable it will be a lot easier. Go over to www.fasoft.com and click on forum and ask those guys questions about n-track. They can give you answers very quick. They could probably help you sync up those tracks if that is still a problem. Oh, and by the way, you might as well go ahead and buy n-track while you're at it.
 
notes

Hi mate,,, so is XP better for using stuff like this then?
As you know by now,,i am none the wiser!
So i would be scared to buy N Track til i at least see some chance of me getting my rather large and unweildy heid around it!
Annoying how XP takes a mad fit when i plug in the card reader ive always used for loading in digi pics and all that.
bloody pcs,,,,,,,,,
 
XP has been good for me. I haven't had the pc related problems that other people have that are using other OSs. Do a search on google for XP. There are several good sites with tweaks that will not only help you learn XP but set it up where it works better for music.
