Total Disaster - no recording , i'm gutted

[64Guitars]

Hi 64 , i had just formatted a brand new 8 Gig card that Roland had sent me , and i definately pressed record and play because i kept glancing down at the beginning of the recording to see , but when i got home and found no recording , i pressed the track button , and that was when i saw that there was no solid blocks under tracks 1 & 2

Could you have been in Song Sketch mode when you were recording? Those tracks won't appear in the V-Tracks screen. Page 51 of the BR-800 manual has instructions for playing songs recorded in Song Sketch mode.

I'm sure the problem isn't that you forgot to create a new song. The BR won't function at all unless there is a valid song selected.

Aaagh, those bloomin BR 800s, you just can't trust them. Why did I go and buy one......

I would like to say that 2 things.

1. You had this site to go to and vent with sympathetic and understanding people.

2. I have done this and I'm sure other(on this site) have also. Funny when your down in a room full of downs, you feel better..!!??...so well ...anyway i'll have a drink for ya....

Rob if the green for play and the red for record was lit it must have recorded somewhere on you br 800 !! sorry if i have missed something out on this thread , have a look around using the back up facility to the computer  and see if there are any files with a large amount of data in which could be youre live recording ??

Don't give up, Rob. Hook the bloody thing up to a pc and do some exploring. If that fails, put it down to experience. These gremlins are sent to plague us, but sometimes teach us things in the process...

I know how you must feel Rob, I had a similar experience this summer when I thought I'd recorded my live performance at a birthday party. 

I'm sure you've tried everything, but if you had a newly formatted 8GB card, have you checked the size of it from the computer? How much "used space" the computer says it has.

Thanks for the support guys , and I will check out all your suggestions when I get home tonight
