Why you never need to optimize

[Ted]

i always optomize a song before the final master, to stop that busy driver message coming up.

I think the lesson learned is: If you see a benefit to optimizing, then backup before you do it.  If everything goes well with the optimizing, you win!

back up back up back up did i say back up

In my experience the card read errors usually is created when recording/bouncing with low battery voltage. To check for possible card read errors, use the wave converter and copy ALL the tracks to the computer (backup of the *.BR* files won't reveal it). If any track fails to be read: DELETE them !!! THEN you can optimize !

Recently I have abandoned using batteries on my mBR and have only used the wall-wart power adaptor for the last 6 months or so, and guess what , no card read errors or any funny business at all.  That low battery power thing is a cause for a lot of the card issues it would seem.  Change out your batteries, put in fresh ones before each session, and recharge the old ones, or use the power adaptor if practicle.  Thats my advice.

you gotta optimize it must be done gotta gotta gotta


aaaaaaaaaaaaa card read error

gotta optimize

[Oldrottenhead]

had my microbr a wee while now and i usually optimize before i master, especially if i have a used up a lot of the cards memory.and i always replace battery before the get too low, optimizing is almost a habit and i rarely see card read error or driver busy messages.

except when i forget to optimize. then there is usually drink involved.

Or you can just get the br-80. I no longer have this problem.
