Topic: Dont you hate it when...

(this could go in the recording section  also but its not so much all about recording)

...... your computer glitches after 3 hours of work and you loose everything!

A week ago, I got home from work, loaded up Audacity, ran a patch from my digitech into the mixer, recorded a 3:45 min drum track (after an hour of messing w/ levels and bpm)
then a few stabs at playing a Bass line (just hanging on that dropped D )

I was about to save project and my whole D@mn computer locked up!  Could not save, couldn't ESC nothing.  I had to Hard boot it!  lost all of it!
It was then 4:45 in the AM and I had to get to sleep. Man was I angry.  I swear I think I was actually playing in time at 130BPM for the first time ever! And I thought the riff was pretty d@mn cool!

If you can imagine it think RATT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_gGWsqd8Ec   blended up with Alanta Rythm Section,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k57_67AEOY

With the guitar I'm pounding on the dropped D (a'la Ratt)  then hit a barred Em7 (7th) with a hamer on > and cant decide on weather to do the A13 like in Spooky or use just the D6.  That's the main riff.  then C5 to A5 B5 and back into Em7

I was doing a track for track so I could send them each to Jerome to mix down for me (Hey Jerome! I need to send you more stuff when I get the chance to do this again!LOLOL)

Well I just was thinking about it and thought to tell you guys about it.

Later.

Audacity is notoriously unstable, and leaks memory like an old boat.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Save save save save save.  One track... SAVE... next track... SAVE!  I think I might have punched my monitor if I was you though.  sad  That stinks.

What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Well this time it was more my computer than Audacity. In its own little way,  Its telling me to replace fans,clean out the guts and upgrade system to Win7. LOLOLOL.
