V Dat Problem

DSP ADD!CT · Post by **DSP ADD!CT** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 9:02 am

Hi there,

strange problems occur when recording with vdat. I can only record once, when the recording failed i have to reboot sfp, also
my meters in the mixer wont show anymore.
I love the vdat cause i can do everything in sfp and dont need to open soundforge.
Please help needed!
Cheers

Are you recording directly into Vdat?

What's your signal flow and setup?

yes i do, hook up input 1+2 to the output of the mixer. I record usualy 24 bit/48000 khz but it also does it on 16/44100.

Yes I believe others have been having same problem.
I reloaded some old projects and Vdat won't "see" audio but they are there when I load into a sequencer.

Maybe a bug.Will have another look for you.Maybe worthwhile emailing creamware.

as i remember, the issue is one of proper file address.

aarrgh, afraid not.
you'll have to try a search about vdat not opening files. it was a while ago, maybe some vdat user remembers.....Marcus?

I might say b.s., but I remember having read that in the file you point to load the VDAT project is specified the directory in wich the wav files were recorded. If the directory has changed for some different partitioning or files moving, it points to the wrong place. I also remember that someone suggested to rename that file as .txt, finding the line where the wav files are addressed and change it with the new location, save, rename it with the original extension and all should be fine.

If you backup the original file and try it won't hurt...

hi there,
i think theres a lil misunderstanding evolving(maybe cause english isnt my native) but i dont have problems with opening old recordings. when i recorded something and i delete the vdat and load it again i cant record anymore unless i reboot sfp, also after the recording my meters of the 24/48 or 48/96 mixer wont show anymore.

is there anyone who has noticed this also?

cheers

Have you tried "ejecting" then reloading?
