Client discovers after-the-fact that preformatted drive they bought is FAT32. paddle 2 is routed to pulse on startup (press C + V to turn paddle 2 off). Recipe for disaster? Client buys pre-formatted drive at Best Buy and transfers all their files over, to make space on their system. My Hard Drive closet alone, would be easily 7 or 8 months work for a diligent young lad, but at least there's minimal (if any) SD2 files to deal with.īut who's going to pay for it? So for now, it will fester. Go to all the record labels and film companies, and give them a quote on recovering, consolidating and transferring their audio masters into BWF files. I see a business opportunity there, though. At least a decade of film, TV, and music archives that are potentially un-recoverable. No kidding, eh? Just think of all those feature films in the vaults with Hard Drives or Magneto Optical disks meant for Akai DD8 dubbers in ProTools 5 / SoundDesigner2 format. It has been a time bomb since Apple started threatening to pull the plug on supporting resource forks in system 8. I've been telling people to avoid SD2 like the plague for over a decade. i'd like very much not to have to re-do an entire album!īob Olhsson wrote on Tue, 25 January 2011 13:26 Laurent spielvogel one man show, Richard aujard photo, Sd 2 apartment for rent. I was asked for a tracks only version of one of the songs in this old session, and i've already re-recorded the tune while i'm trying to figure out this problem. Patronservice kontakt, I translate english to french, Science news daily. what's the best way to verify that there is valid data beyond the header?ģ) does anyone know a tool that could do batch processing of a group of files that need the header repaired? (i fear i may have to write one). would sound hack choke on the new file?Ģ) should sound hack (or something else perhaps)? be able to play the file even without the header present? or at least show data? i.e. so i have a few questions:ġ) if i've chosen the wrong params for the new header info and saved it (for example, wrong bit depth). i change the header info back to what it should be, save, but there is no audio in the file. Sound Hack reports that they are headerless. on further inspection, i find that there are maybe a couple hundred sound files (SDII) that are corrupt. It works best if you have MacDrive installed on your system - but works fine without it too.Went to open an old session from around 6 years ago (in Digital Performer) and the session wouldn't open. Rail - thanks again for all the cool freeware you've kept posted on your site!) bit rate, sample rate, number of channels) gets stripped when you open it on a PC - so you need to know from the client what they are sending, or else you can experience problems from a corrupt conversion (which is what I think is happening in your case).Īn invaluable utility for me (freeware) for sd2 conversion is Rail's sdTwoWav. I heartilyu agree that sd2 files are a pain to deal with for PC-based DAW's, since the resource fork that contains the header information (i.e. I still receive sd2 files now and then - seems there are indeed some folks out there still running older PT or DP software, and I'd rather accomodate them without any questions than turn their work away or give them grief for using what they already have and are comfortable with.
