VDAT....help needed

[zangsta]

I´ve not used VDAT in a very long time, and I seem to have forgotten the procedure to get into record mode.
I´ve got "tape" set in proper directory, signal coming in, and everything looks right, but I can´t get into record mode.
Any ideas, or someone wanna walk me trough this ?

the tracks won't arm?

the tracks won't arm?

I´ve got two tracks set, blue indicates input, and steady red armed for record, right?

i haen't looked at VDAT in a while, i thought they blinked when armed, but yes, that sounds right. then you push record and it starts, no? are you sure the tape is loaded and the length isn't like 1 sec? the VDAT is pretty damn straight forward....

it DOES take like 10 minutes to format a tape of a normal song length with say, 20 tracks...

[zangsta]

It looks right, I´ve set a 6 min song, got wav-files 30meg ca, looks right.
There was something about the sequence of buttons to push that took me some time to to..
hey, now the recording-computer crashed, maybe there was something not right...let´s see
what gives after the re-boot...

Ok, the re-boot did it, works like a clock now !
Thanks, Gary !
Not that you did very much this time,
...but anyway, you´re such a great resource !
