Thanks Bob. I had done that and got a recent file. Just not recent enough.

I wonder if using the thumb drive messed things up?

Check that thumb drive for an RB backup folder and (possibly) a more recent file.

Dunno if it's possible, depends on how you used the thumb drive I suppose.
Send the codes to support and see if they know. A code as low as 4 could mean something as simple as disk space problem.

I hate losing work, and don't seem to have the issues you guys report. Then again I designed my system to be a DAW. Some people say 'I shouldn't need to do that', which is valid in some cases. But if your system is set up right, RB runs very reliably for very demanding situations.

Yes, I save RB and relaunch occasionally. Usually when *I* take a break. I figure if I'm ready, the system probably is too. Saving current work, and closing/ reopening RB can clear a ton of temp files and memory.
Doing things like using a separate drive for audio temp directory seems to really help. Have any of you looked in your audio temp directory to see just how many files you are creating with Edit, Record, Generate, reGenerate etc.? You might be surprised. Look at it while RB is running (after a decent session), then close RB and look again.
Those temp files are needed for Undo, etc. but can pile up. If you regenerated a section a bunch of times guess what?? Those files are in that temp directory in case you Undo back to that spot.
Sometimes how you work can avoid that, but using a separate drive can alleviate a lot of that.

Just some thoughts and ramblings


I remember someone saying that another DAW (Adobe I think) 'works' a lot quicker while inside the program, but takes much longer to save/close when done .. as it compiles and deletes temp files etc.
This leads me to believe something in RB is much different than that particular DAW in its routines.

I put serious strain on RB at times. I've also helped set up systems for others that use PT/RB and have been very reliable .. and it always involves a separate temp audio drive (for one thing)

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
