Do you have continuous problems with the sample discs that come with these magazines? Sometimes I try them on every DVD drive in the house and they either crash the computer or I get an error saying it cannot read the files. Out of the 10 editions of Music Tech magazine I have bought, only 2 of the sample discs have worked properly, with the rest being faulty. I had to actually give up buying Music Tech because of this.
As for FutureMusic, the discs seem to work a bit more often (7/10) times but it's still incredibly annoying when one of the discs doesn't work. However, every copy of Computer Music magazine I own has working discs. I know you can send them back to the publisher when there's a problem, but it ends up costing so much to send the discs from Australia to England. Is there anything I can do? This is really pissing me off!! |

I never used them. I prefer to make my own sounds, but thats a completely different story f course. but yes you can exchange them.
but I never got any problem with disc regarding reading errors or something. maybe you drive is very intolerant about not properly burned discs.... |

I've tried it on 4 different drives.
And as for the originality of samples, I usually run them through a VST effect I've made to make em sound all glitchy like. So there ![]() |

dont wanted to offend you with that! just wanted to start my answering that way
![]() but ok if you tried it on 4 drives then of course the discs suck. did you already called their hotline or something bout that? calling in case of failure is often forgotten |
