Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hello group,

This week I lost all the music on the same two year old minidisc, last
Wednesday and now this night again .

Blanc (TDK Lucir) disc, 0 tracks and 74 minutes and 59 seconds free space it
says on the display of the also 2 years old Sony mds-je 640 minidisc-player.

Is the disc malfunctioning, TOC area/sector damaged or  is  the
minidiscplayer auto-erasing my recordings, anybody simular expierences ?
How reliable is minidisc , I have this thing for two years now and it works
very easy, as long as it holds my music.........
Sorry for the Off Topic but since this is a nice and quit group (<:)'.

greetings
grrmmmblllmm have to start recording all over again for the thirth
time.....grrrrrrrrr.

Thorsten, thanx for the info.
No, its not a portable and till now it has not been dropped or something
like that, at least not that I know/remember.
Really don't understand why I lost those recordings TWICE !
First time I thought I accidently presssed some buttons on the remote
keyboard(the Sony can be connected to a normal ps2 computer keyboard for
convenient naming tracks) or the remote control (a year ago my minidisc was
acting totally stupid till I discovered my cat lying on and activating the
remote control, pffffffffffffffffffff)

But this is a new feature, hmmm well I hope its the disc or something and
not the minidiscplayer, the future will probably tell...

Well all my lost music is still in my computer but I started rerecording
this morning but I stopped, totally not in the mood, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr so i
would probably end up with uninspired mixed recordings, gonna enjoy the nice
weather and rehearse with the band this afternoon.
That should help getting in a better mood,

have a nice weekend,

And if your wondering why minidisc, wel its very easy to access/record and
relisten my recordings/music, After a while I make a selection and transfer
it (digital) into my computer and re-use it and/or burn it on cd.
This gives me good ennuf quality for the moment, but I wanna change my setup
so I can, if I want to, record the mix directly into my computer, with a few
"minor" changes this should be possible (A new mixer probably).

Hi i got the same problem with my own minidisc but with a différence...
my minidisc recorder said blank disc so i think my disc is blank so i throw 
it 

another disc do it again 
?
so :
-disc of bad quality
-recorder error

I think it's more the recorder problem because i put the disc 10 times in the 
recorder and  after a while a miracle the recorder said that the disc was not 
blank.
Those recorder are some fragile little things.

It's my expérience maybe not the solution to your own problem
but try to put again and again your disc then another then your disc to test 
the recorder.(if you haven't do it yet)

Well, I think for the moment we can close this Off Topic blanc Minidisc.

I've done some heavy minidisc using/testing last night andf I managed to get
my music nicely mixed in the computer.
But the blanc minidisc problem occurred two more times, but this time I used
a complete different disc,  as far as I know/understand now its the TOC
writing that causes the problem.
Not that I like Frederic suddenly got my earlier recorded music back as by
magic (I tried loading the first blanc minidisc several times but the
minidiscplayer kept saying "blanc disc").

Very strange because the deck still records very well, but the TOC writing
seems to corrupt the disc...(I do think the music is still there somewhere
(TOC=Table  Of Content)
As I get to know something worthwhile about this strange and very unwanted
phenomenom I'll let you know.

Hi,

If you want to know more about the "Blank Minidisc" problem with MD Recorders, please let me know.

I have some (unfortunate) experience with such things.
