Subject:How do loops get corrupted? Posted by: Jessariah Date:2/16/2003 9:51:53 AM Hey all, This has happened twice now: I keep all my loop libraries on a dedicated drive. Once in a while, one of the loops will get "corrupted" in a song. If I open the properties window, even the wave draw is altered. It's not an enormous deal -- I just pop the original disk in and replace the file on the drive -- but I'm wondering what causes this, and if there is a way to keep it from happening. Thanks
Subject:RE: How do loops get corrupted? Reply by: David_Kuznicki Date:2/16/2003 12:03:30 PM That's strange-- I've used Acid for years and I've never had that problem. I've recently moved all of my loops over to an external drive (a USB2 which has been a MASSIVE pain in the ass, thank you very much), but prior to that, I kept them on a separate internal drive... Maybe the drive itself is bad? David.

Another could be performance failure on part of the hard drive. (Be wary, as usually this is a warning the drive is failing overall.) Iacobus
Subject:RE: How do loops get corrupted? Reply by: salad Date:2/16/2003 1:03:30 PM Hi, Is this an internal drive? I ask cuz I've had a couple .AVI files get corrupted whilst sitting on a firewire drive and possibly from running Norton Speed Disk(defrager) on it one day, then I interupted the defrag cuz it seemed like it stopped responding.

Subject:RE: How do loops get corrupted? Reply by: SonyJennL Date:2/17/2003 12:54:59 PM Maxtor drives have a tendency to go bad quickly. You will see this in slight data losses until the drive eventually fails completely. I would recommend replacing the drive and moving your media before more serious problems arise.

Hey all,

This has happened twice now:

I keep all my loop libraries on a dedicated drive. Once in a while, one of the loops will get "corrupted" in a song. If I open the properties window, even the wave draw is altered. It's not an enormous deal -- I just pop the original disk in and replace the file on the drive -- but I'm wondering what causes this, and if there is a way to keep it from happening.

Thanks
