Topic: 722 question

[F0CKER]

Got a 722 the other day and got use it in the field once and must say I'm beyond happy.  What a nice piece of gear!

One issue I'm coming across and I can't figure out why.  I recorded Grace Potter Thursday and the files came out fine.  Transferred them over to my PC but left them on the HD to the 722.  The next day I was doing some more testing with the 722 and I recorded maybe 4-5 test files.  I went back into the 722 HD and saw that the Grace Potter files had been either erased or overwritten.  None of the wav files were named the same so I'm assuming the 722 deleted them.  I have the latest firemware installed 1.60.  I'm sure it's just a settting, but can't seem to figure out which one.  Help is appreciated.

If you have it set for daily folders  you might be looking in the wrong folder.  the 722 should NEVER delete files on its own.  Are you looking via the LCD or from the computer?

Fozzy is correct...

Look at your file tree and they are 99% to be there... simple quick look..Chreck the Space Avaialbe on the Hard Drive.. you should notice a large block (Grace Potter) already gone..

I was looking on the PC..  Very strange.  I actually ended up deleting everything that was on the 722 after Grace (i.e. the test files).  So I'm just going off what I remember from yesterday. Let me kick the tires with it again today and tomorrow and get back to you on what I find out.  But the Grace files were definitely missing.

Although I wouldn't rule out user error of some sort.  I'll keep testing and let y'all know.

But overall the 722 one nice piece of gear.

When I was running my 722 I was a little shakey at first also...  I always D/L files...do a quick check-sum and then did my processing...
I archived a raw 24/96 file and then worked with a copy for playback...  I never deleted the files from the 722 until I had a FLAC Archive file safely in my hands just in case.

Maybe that will help and put you at ease moving FWD....  everyone has their own method and that worked for me.

Appreciate the guidance CQbert.  My first impression is very positive, just need to get used to the nuances and I'll be good to go.

when ive heard folks talk about checking their checksums on the 722, how does one do that? can you hook it up to a PC and make an md5 for that particular show/folder on the 722 and make and md5 on the 722 thru the pc then transfer via firewire and check the md5 once its copied to the pc

if anyone has anymore helpful hints on the 722, id be much oblidged since i will have one in hand hopefully by nextt weekend

Yea thats basically it Bean.  I have never done this, was an issue w/ some of the earlier firwares but I think they have resolved any firewire bugs except for the speed.  You would MD5 the file on 722 > drag to WAV PC > verify MD5.  The 722 just shows up as another drive in "My Computer"
