fuck you, cubase.
changing your soundcard out doesn't mean deleting all the tracks that are attached to the previous soundcard. and, no, i didn't think to back it up or check that all the tracks were there before i saved it. honestly. what the fuck?
that's a lot of work that just disappeared. not happy about it.
i was in the process of building the track back up from scratch, anyways. i didn't lose any notes. and i'm not sure what i would have kept and what i would have replaced. it's just sound font info.
but, damn it, that reference was nice to have.
ugh.
need cigarettes.
at the least the vst instruments are still there. but, now i need to write out thirty vst settings by hand before i start again...
this track is actually straining the card. i mean, that's a lot of vst instruments running all at once, which is why i switched the card from the m-audio to the alesis in the first place.
grargh. a lost day, nothing worse.
it's all the guitar tracks that are just killing it. they each need their own instrument. it should be less of a problem once i get the guitars played out manually.
