problems with microbr wav editor help!!

[64Guitars]

when i try to extract a wav file i get the process goes the full 100% then i get a failed to read track.

Does the track play okay in the BR? If so, try bouncing it to another track, then try to convert the result of the bounce to a WAV file in BR Wave Converter.

Failing that, you could also try a song optimize. If there's a problem with the event table, that might fix it.

i get a failed to read track.

The list of error messages in the back of the BR Wave Converter manual doesn't include that one. I was curious to see if there are other error messages that are not mentioned in the manual, so I checked the executable and found these:

• Excessive number of takes in track.
• Not Mac-ready disk.
• Failed to access BR disk. Can't create new event.
• Channel count zero. Can't convert wave file to BR track.
• Invalid song number.
• Failed to write track.
• Failed to read track.
• Failed to write song.
• Failed to read song.
• Failed to read song list.
• Song protected.

And for the sake of completeness, here are the error messages that are listed in the manual:

• Not BR series memory card. The memory card you have selected is not formatted for use with the BR Series. Check the memory card and try the operation once again.
• Can't read card. You performed a read operation on a memory card that was not ready. Check the memory card and try the operation once again.
• Can't write to card. You attempted to write to a protected memory card. Or, you performed a write operation on a card that was not ready. Check the memory card and try the operation once again.
• Failed to read wave file. The WAV/AIFF file you attempted to read was not a PCM, 44.1 kHz, 16 Bit, and therefore could not be read. Please check the format of the file.
• Failed to write wave file. Check to confirm that the file you are attempting to write is not being used by another application or by Explorer. If the file is currently being used, quit the other application and try writing the file again. If the number of characters in the name of the saved file or in the save-destination folder name exceeds the maximum limit, try reducing the number of characters in the file name or folder name and then try the operation once again.
• No free space on save-destination card. There is insufficient space on the save destination memory card. Increase the amount of free space by erasing unneeded data. Then try the conversion operation once again.
• Sampling frequency is not 44.1kHz. Can't convert wave file to BR track. The WAV/AIFF file you have selected to convert from WAV/AIFF file to BR Series data (Import) has a sampling rate other than 44.1 kHz. Please load a WAV/AIFF file with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz.
• Specified wave is too short (< 1sec). Can't convert wave file to BR track. The data in the WAV/AIFF file you have attempted to convert to BR Series data (Import) is less than 1 second in duration. BR Series devices are not capable of handling data lasting one second or less.
• Event maximum reached. Can't create new event. The available space for performance data from the conversion (Import) of WAV/AIFF files to BR Series data is full, and no new performance data can be added. First, erase any unneeded data using Song Optimize on your BR series device (or by using some other method), then perform the conversion over again.
• Excessive amount of data in track. The recording time for the data on the specified track is too long. Use the BR Series device's Track Edit function to shorten the recording time. This software is capable of outputting monaural data of up to approximately 6 hours and 45 minutes (approximately 3 hours and 22 minutes in stereo).
• Excessive amount of data in song. The total recording time of the song is too long. This software is capable of data of up to approx. 9 hours (approx. 4 hours and 30 minutes in stereo). With the BR-80, this will be approx. 3 hours and 20 minutes in monaural (approx. 1 hours and 40 minutes in stereo).

i tried bouncing to other tracks but got same fail. when i rerecorded omm another track it worked.

that said kids have been on pc and i have all sorts of adaware bubble dock  or other pcprocleaner, pcdefender etc so that may have affected things too. i think i got rid of all malaware, but not 100% sure. gonna install br software on laptop but is running linux. so not got a clue how to install it. a program called ark opens and im lost lol.

finally worked out how to use wav editor on linux laptop. same results, i can only assume it is a fault in card secor, gonna try optimising. but not holding out much hope.

Ark is the archive manager. Think of it as WinZip for linux. The documentation is here:

http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeutils/ark/index.html

Use ark to extract the files from the Zip file ("BRWC310.zip"). You should end up with a file called "BRWC.exe". Right-click on that file and select "Open With Wine Windows Program Loader" to run the BR Wave Converter.

It could be a fault with the card, but then I would have thought that bouncing would have solved that problem since it would make a new copy of the track in a different area of the card. You could also try Song Copy to make a new copy of the entire song. Then try that new song with BR Wave Converter.

If you still don't get anywhere, try backing up the card, then use BR Explorer to browse to the backup on your hard drive and click the WAV button in BR Explorer to launch BR Wave Converter and convert the tracks directly from the backup *. That way, the SD card isn't part of the equation. If it still fails, then I think the track data is corrupt. If song optimize doesn't fix it, then I don't think there's anything else you can do.

* I should point out that this trick doesn't work in linux, so you'll have to do it in Windows.

tried optimising same result

[Oldrottenhead]

[Oldrottenhead]

tried br explorer getting an access violation message, then br explorer opens but i cant highlight wav.
