Good morning all!
Last night, I was back down in the music lab and had one of those "cardiac moments".
I was editing some tracks and I don't know if I hit 2 buttons at once or what, but I got a "READ BUSY!" error. I went to press PLAY and all I got was a flashing light. I couldn't go up and jog the time over, couldn't reset back to zero, couldn't ESCAPE out or anything.
Thinking that I was hopelessly frozen, I tried to close out my session by pressing EJECT/SHUT. The display froze with the YES/NO query. Nothing I did from that point on would get me moving again.
So I thought that the only way out was to coldboot the machine. Closed my eyes and shut it down and man I have to tell you as it was powering up, I was praying to the computer gods like there was no tommorrow.
After it ran through setup, everything worked fine; like it never happened.
I am not a big fan of poweringdown a 'puter before it's cleaned house so my question is, was there something else I could have done to get out of the freezeup? What would have caused it in the first place. Manual said something about a track out of timing or something but everything was off (clock not counting) before this happened.
Thanks again. Having a blast with it so far!
