![]() Client discovers after-the-fact that preformatted drive they bought is FAT32. Recipe for disaster? Client buys pre-formatted drive at Best Buy and transfers all their files over, to make space on their system. My Hard Drive closet alone, would be easily 7 or 8 months work for a diligent young lad, but at least there's minimal (if any) SD2 files to deal with.īut who's going to pay for it? So for now, it will fester. Go to all the record labels and film companies, and give them a quote on recovering, consolidating and transferring their audio masters into BWF files. ![]() I see a business opportunity there, though. At least a decade of film, TV, and music archives that are potentially un-recoverable. No kidding, eh? Just think of all those feature films in the vaults with Hard Drives or Magneto Optical disks meant for Akai DD8 dubbers in ProTools 5 / SoundDesigner2 format.

Sound Hack reports that they are headerless. on further inspection, i find that there are maybe a couple hundred sound files (SDII) that are corrupt. If you’ve given these free Mac audio plugins a try, leave a comment and share your thoughts on them.Went to open an old session from around 6 years ago (in Digital Performer) and the session wouldn't open.
