<pre class="alt2" dir="ltr" style="background-color: #efefef; border: 1px inset; height: 82px; margin: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 4px; text-align: left; width: 576px;">De-fragmentation is complete for: (C:)
Some files on this volume could not be De-fragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files.</pre>
<br />
In my previous article I mentioned to use <a href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva"><b>RECUVA</b></a> to solve De-fragment problem with the above mentioned error. Unfortunately the problem re-appeared after a few reboots and defragment sessions.<br />
<br />
Thinking that the problem was due to <b>MFT</b> (<i>Master File Table</i>) fragmentation, I tried <a href="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/total-defrag/"><b>Paragon Total Defrag 2009</b></a> - Not to be mention that it is a <b>powerful tool</b> for de-fragmenting <b>MFT</b> as well as <b>compacting MFT</b>. It worked well but the problem still crept in after a few reboots. And I was shocked when I noticed that although the MFT (Master File Table) was not fragmented still the windows Defrag utility was giving the same error - <b>"Some files on this volume could not be De-fragmented"</b>.<br />
<br />
After trying almost all De-frag Utilities I downloaded <a href="http://www.kessels.com/Jkdefrag/"><b>JKdefrag</b></a>. After running <b>JKdefrag</b> I came to know from its log that the following files were not getting De-fragmented viz. <b>C:\$extend\$usnjrnl:$j$data </b>and<b> D:\$extend\$usnjrnl:$j$data</b>.<br />
<br />
These are parts of NTFS structure the <i>update sequence number</i> ($USN) <i>Journal</i> is not read or used by Windows but are used by other applications essential to the health and proper operation of the NTFS file system. It is disabled by default and only activated when invoked by any application which uses this feature.<br />
<br />
For More details you can check the following links:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0999/journal/journal.aspx">Keeping an Eye on Your NTFS Drives: the Windows 2000 Change Journal Explained</a> </li>
<li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363877%28VS.85%29.aspx">Creating, Modifying, and Deleting a Change Journal</a></li>
<li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363803%28VS.85%29.aspx">Change Journal Records</a></li>
</ul>
Recently. I had installed <a href="http://www.voidtools.com/"><b>Voidtools</b></a> <b>"Everything"</b> which was using this feature. Immediately I opened <b>Everything</b> and <b>disabled <i>USN journal logging</i></b> in the options.<br />
<br />
There after I ran <b>JKdefrag</b> again and checked the log file just to find that there was no trace of fragmented "\$extend\$usnjrnl:$j$data".<br />
<br />
Finally the problem got solved and now even the Windows default Defrag utility ran perfectly without giving error anymore.<br />
<br />
JKdefrag was the only apllication which showed details in its log file as compared to <b>Auslogics Disk Defrag, Defraggler, Smart Defrag & Paragon Total Defrag 2009</b>. Since these are hidden files (Marked with $) they don't show-up in windows Defrag utility's Log file either.<br />
<br />
If you are unable to identify the application which is using USN Journal then you can use <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788042%28WS.10%29.aspx">Fsutil.exe</a> (<i>present in Windows XP system folder</i>) to delete or modify USN Journal<br />
<br />
Hope this will help people facing similar issue.</div>

Recently I encountered a typical problem in windows XP pro SP3. I have a SATA hard drive in my system with one primary partition (C:) and two logical extended partitions viz. D: & E: drives.<br />
<br />
After successfully De-fragmenting the partitions, I received the following message for drives C: and D: .<br />
<br />
<pre class="alt2" dir="ltr" style="background-color: #efefef; border: 1px inset; height: 82px; margin: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 4px; text-align: left; width: 576px;">De-fragmentation is complete for: (C:)
Some files on this volume could not be De-fragmented.
Please check the defragmentation report for the list of these files.</pre>
<br />
Inside the report it was not showing any fragmented files at all. Neither any file was reflected even after re-analyzing the drives. Thereafter I tried to defrag the MFT (<span style="font-style: italic;">Master File Table</span>) using Paragon Partition Manager 8,5 - which fixed the problem on both the drives.<br />
<br />
But all went in vein when the problem reappeared in drive C: after a few boots and system's De-frag utility was not able to fix it at all.<br />
<br />
Since De-fragmenting the MFT was taking a huge time (nearly 1-2 Hours) ; it was not feasible to run it every now and then.<br />
<br />
So I started searching for permanent remedy - the problem was in the MFT (<span style="font-style: italic;">Master File Table</span>) which increases in size and gets fragmented over the time. And this is not rectified by systems's default defrag utility (<span style="font-style: italic;">One has to use third party utility to defrag MFT</span>). When we delete a file the deleted file's entry remains in the MFT adding to its size.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly I used <span style="font-weight: bold;">"RECUVA"</span> - yes you are right, it is for recovering deleted files. But there is a feature in <span style="font-weight: bold;">Recuva</span> called "Secure Overwrite ..." - which is used to permanently erase the deleted files from the disk and make them unrecoverable for ever.<br />
<br />

<ol>
<li>Open <span style="font-weight: bold;">"RECUVA"</span>.</li>
<li>Select the Drive (<span style="font-style: italic;">In my case it was C:</span>)<br />
</li>
<li>Run "Scan" without entering anything in the search box.</li>
<li>A list of files will appear after the scan. Check tick in all the boxes.</li>
<li>Now right click and select <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"Secure Overwrite Checked"</span>.</li>
<li>It will take some time and will not be able to delete all the files.</li>
<li>But the problem will be solved.</li>
</ol>
Yes now, after performing the above process, I ran defrag once again on the drive C:.<br />
<br />
<strike><span style="font-weight: bold;">VIOLA!!</span> - no error anymore - <span style="font-weight: bold;">ALL FIXED</span>.</strike><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />

I am extremely sorry as I was not being able to take out any time for my blog last year. But now I will be posting new reviews and troubles shooting as well.<br />
<br />
Hope you understand my position as I have mentioned somewhere else that Last year I was quite busy and touring.

Firewire port is considered to be more stable than USB 2.0 port (this is my opinion - others may differ). But people face problems also with firewire port if they have Windows Xp with SP2 installed.<br />
There is an article "Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2" if you want to check on microsoft's site. The performance drops because Windows XP SP2 changes 1394b ports to S100 speed. So if you connect a sound card which is designed to run at S400 speed will not function properly since the data transfer rate has dropped considerably.<br />
To solve this problem you need to edit/modify your registry entry as mentioned below:<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>WARNING!!</b> - Only make changes if you know about registry. Backup your registry before attempting any change since it could leave your system unbootable if any mistake is done.</span><br />
1. Click <b>Start</b>, click <b>Run</b>, type <b>regedit</b>, and then click <b>OK</b>. <br />
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey: <br />
<b>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ PCI\1394_hc_hw_id\1394_instance_id\Device Parameters</b> <br />
3. If the SidSpeed value does not exist in the right pane after you click the <b>Device Parameters</b> subkey in step 2, create it. To do this, point to <b>New</b> on the <b>Edit menu</b>, click <b>DWORD Value</b>, type <b>SidSpeed</b>, and then press ENTER. <br />
4. Right-click <b>SidSpeed</b>, and then click <b>Modify</b>. <br />
5. In the <b>Value data</b> box, type one of the values that are shown in the following table, and then click <b>OK</b>. <br />
<b>Value </b><b>Speed</b> <br />
0 ------ S100 speed <br />
1 ------ S200 speed <br />
2 ------ S400 speed (default value) <br />
3 ------ S400/S800 speed (Windows XP Service Pack 1 [SP1] value) <br />
<b>Note</b> If you try to use a value that is larger than 3, SidSpeed will use a value of 0 (S100 speed). <br />
6. Quit Registry Editor. <br />
To locate the FireWire controller information, follow these steps: <br />
1. Open Device Manager. To do this, right-click <b>My Computer</b> on the <b>Start </b>menu, click <b>Manage</b>, and then click <b>Device Manager</b> under <b>System Tools</b>. You can also click <b>Properties </b>under <b>My Computer</b>, and then click <b>Device Manager</b> on the <b>Hardware</b> tab. <br />
2. Locate your FireWire controller in the <b>IEEE 1934 Bus host controllers</b> section. <br />
3. Right-click the FireWire controller entry, click <b>Properties</b>, and then click the <b>Details</b> tab. <br />
4. Click <b>Device Instance Id</b>. You see a string of letters and numbers that is similar to the following: <br />
PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8020&SUBSYS_00D81028&REV_00\4&19FD8D60&0&60F0 <br />
The information between the two slash marks (\) is the “1394_hc_hw_id". <br />
“VEN_104C&DEV_8020&SUBSYS_00D81028&REV_00” is the hardware ID in this example. The information that follows the second slash mark (\) is the “1394_instance_id”. “4&19FD8D60&0&60F0” is the instance ID in this example. <br />
If you are confused do not attempt yourself - instead consult some computer technician.Sarveshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307057584744494091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126851002065918677.post-89778136355619896332007-09-15T01:19:00.001+05:302010-01-25T20:13:54.677+05:30TIPS: Creating new project in SONAR LE<p><strong>Sonar LE</strong> is a nice DAW for music creation.

Yes I came across two such cases last week where the cause of drop out was Hard disk. The first and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">foremost</span> thing anyone can suspect is the buffer setting when someone faces drop outs - But the case here was totally different. One of my friend was using <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Motu</span> 2408 MK3 whereas the other was using M-Audio Audiophile 192. The problem was that they were able to play wave, mp3 or other media files normally using media player without any drop outs. But the problem use to reflect when they were using some audio D<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">aw</span> or <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">sequencer</span> with audio on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">multi tracks</span>.<br />
Due to some hard disk error the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">UDMA</span> mode of hard disk got changed to either <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">PIO</span> or <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">UDMA</span>-0 mode causing this problem. Since all the Hard disk are set to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">UDMA</span>-5 (<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">UDMA</span>100), the data transfer rate is 100<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">MB</span>/sec. Hence the problem showed up only when <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">multi track</span> were played since more audio files are read simultaneously from the Hard disk and since the data <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">transfer</span> mode was set to lower rate - all the data was not being read in time causing drop outs.<br />
So next time you face drop outs in your <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">multi track</span> program check if your data transfer mode is changed or not. Open system in control panel - go to hardware device manager - Check in primary and secondary <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">IDE</span> channel under <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">IDE</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">ATA</span>/<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">ATAPI</span> Controller. Under advance tab of primary and secondary <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">IDE</span> channel see if the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">transfer</span> mode is set to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">UDMA</span> Mode 5 or higher.<br />
Hope this will help those who are facing drop outs despite of correct buffer settings.Sarveshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307057584744494091noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126851002065918677.post-69657103064576575992007-04-12T20:15:00.001+05:302010-01-25T20:18:57.188+05:30SONAR LE - the most complete OEM production software<p align="center"><strong>SONAR LE<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052553720760528546" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: hand; text-align: center" alt="SONAR LE" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiufHBrT-TXRKncvw5bhon-zb-bpRcTCmaYDXXxBuv53IJbH_DjAFrnXlV459WTquiK_GlmL4hEc1LtnrcybN3mn-Tlxqja6UDPN1WhuzdjVU-ZFhPkYAPtDKQI65_fXK0BvDyVqtGRe_M/s400/SONAR_LE_sticker_sm.gif" border="0"></strong></p><p>Cakewalk's Sonar LE is a OEM music production software bundled with the following Brand products :</p><p><a title="Roland" href="http://www.roland.com">Roland</a>, <a title="Edirol" href="http://www.edirol.com">Edirol</a>, <a title="EMU" href="http://www.emu.com">EMU products</a>, <a title="Open Labs" href="http://www.openlabs.com">Open Labs</a>, <a title="Rain Recording" href="http://www.rainrecording.com">Rain Recording</a>, <a title="Samson" href="http://www.samsontech.com">Samson</a>.</p><p>Unlike other OEM bundled applications SONAR LE is designed simple yet it provides complete solution for creating music. The best part is that you can record 64 Audio tracks - which is enough for professional work and you will not think for upgrading immediately. Further it supports 256 midi tracks - which again is quite some for programming midi.</p><p>In other words although the name is SONAR LE but the features are more like pro versions. You can have 24 track effects enabled simultaneously. Sonar LE gives you the power to make the best sound quality since it supports 24bit / 192Khz recording.</p><p>You can use maximum 8 virtual instruments at a time - No problem as you insert more virtual instruments it effects your system load otherwise. So you can always bounce the virtual instrument to audio track ( since you have bounce the midi tracks for mixing ) in case you need more instruments to be added.</p><p>The final restriction is that you can have only 8 simultaneous inputs and outputs. Hence you can record maximum 8 tracks simultaneously which is sufficient these days and as far as output is concerned - all the mixing is done internally these days. Even if you use a outboard you still have 8 outputs to route.</p><p align="center"><strong>SONAR LE</strong></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5052553716465561234" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; cursor: hand; text-align: center" alt="SONAR LE" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8tMPsl424xJRSlu3zT9M6sATmsb12wpH_nuuOJgXSamfwfVv6GoOmsEiP0gHnhmT10tqkUiuaUtybHSFtZ9JQuICR-jknR2J_bZ6ZJ0H-6kLxO-Mm8Ek8d3kpFUX5XytiDvZXqVZ4xEM/s400/SONAR_LE_screenshot_sm.gif" border="0"></p><p>SONAR LE also supports ACID™-format loops and Rewire clients such as Project5, Live, or Reason etc.</p><p>The new version of SONAR LE (based on the features of SONAR 6) is supposed to be shipping now as it was scheduled in Feb 2007.

We all face problems when we use a number of midi tracks playing lot of different VSTi's. Some VSTi's almost bring your CPU load to shoot 100% usage and halt. "Freeze" feature is the best solution in such condition. Since all virtual instruments use CPU processing for real time sound generation, we can disable them to save CPU usage. Freeze is a feature which allows you to remove the VSTi while you can still hear the sound. You start sequencing as usual using VSTi and midi track as shown below.<br />

The robust system is consists of the following:<br />
<ol><li>Intel Media Series Desktop Board DG965WH<br />
<li>Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600, LGA775 Pkg. 2.40 GHz, 4MB L2-Cache, 1066 MHz FSB<br />
<li>Transcend 4GB DDR2 RAM 800 MHz ( 4 x 1GB DIMM's )<br />
<li>Sony 1.44 inch Floppy Drive<br />
<li>Seagate SATA ST3250824AS 250Gb x 2 ( Total 500GB )<br />
<li>LiteOn 20X DVD/CD Writer and Rewriter<br />
<li>Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 700<br />
<li>iBall Cabinet with Extra Chassis Fan Model: - Work Horse (SILVER)<br />
<li>Power Safe 400 Watts SMPS Gold<br />
<li>Samsung Sync Master 940NW 19" wide LCD monitor<br />
<li>Windows XP Professional with SP2</li><br />
</ol>The system mentioned above is really very fast and stable. Since we all know that audio applications require more CPU processing power and RAM to run properly, <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX5apHFXO_h5So51dgFgY7SCTqotdQ9fZuMQ1MdCWXQHYxmyG1xI28pksCcE49vvmB_16rKdZSsUKGT0mHCDPEP_YsVD2sUXClt3E6YDLMBrNhQRmNAqhG8wZfx4gAKjg_Hkqm9djmNM0/s1600-h/WorkHorse1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5047425133820690562" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; cursor: hand" alt="iBall WorkHorse Cabinet" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX5apHFXO_h5So51dgFgY7SCTqotdQ9fZuMQ1MdCWXQHYxmyG1xI28pksCcE49vvmB_16rKdZSsUKGT0mHCDPEP_YsVD2sUXClt3E6YDLMBrNhQRmNAqhG8wZfx4gAKjg_Hkqm9djmNM0/s400/WorkHorse1.jpg" border="0"></a>this system provides ample memory for vsti plugins to load samples and tracks. You should be aware that while using a multi-track recording software the increase in the number of audio tracks increases load on CPU because all the processing takes place in real time ( no pre-rendering). If you are using vst or dx plugins such as delay, reverb, compressor etc as inserts, they further add to processing consumption. Then comes the load of vsti which are very popular these days in making music tracks.<br />
So in order to work smoothly you need a powerful system and the configuration mentioned above will be helpful.Sarveshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307057584744494091noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126851002065918677.post-77282582509714967632007-03-17T10:01:00.002+05:302010-01-25T20:24:08.621+05:30TIPS: Midi recording problem in Nuendo 3.2 with Edirol FA-66 FireWire audio interface<b>Problem:</b> Last week one of my client faced a peculiar problem in Nuendo 3.2 while sequencing ( recording midi tracks ). The midi notes would not get recorded despite being played and heard while recording.<br />
The nature of symptoms for such problem are :<br />
<ol><li>Persistent timing problems (shifted notes etc.) while using native or emulated Direct Music midi ports.<br />
</li>
<li>Using emulated Direct Music midi ports often results in shifted MIDI events while recording (events are recorded too late or too early).<br />
</li>
<li>After recording for a while the MIDI events are not recorded at all despite of being played and heard while recording.<br />
</li>
<li>Sometime after recording you find that all the notes have been shifted to the beginning of the sequenced event.</li>
</ol>The system was based on Intel D945GNT motherboard with 3.4Mhz dual core processor having 1Gb DDR2 533Mhz RAM and 2 x 250GB SATA Seagate Hard disk. The sound card he was using was Edirol FA-66 FireWire audio interface connected through Iogear "Texas Instrument" based PCI FireWire card. It seems D945GNT is not suitable for FireWire audio interfaces as I have faced audio problems using Tascam audio hardware also on the similar type of setup.<br />
I connected FA-66 to other system and found working properly without any midi loss at all. I even tried VIA based FireWire card in the same system with no success. The problem is that Nuendo 3 midi port handling is not compatible with D945GNT motherboard as you encounter the problem while using this motherboard only.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Solution:</b>See that you should have DirectX 9.0c installed properly if you are using emulated Direct Music Midi ports. <br />
<ul><li>If you are using Direct Music midi Ports then you should enable (check) the option “Use System Timestamp” provided in the Direct Music midi section of the Device Setup dialogue. This option uses another timing reference in your system when enabled.<br />
</li>
<li>If you are using Windows midi port then you should enable (check) the option “Use System Timestamp” provided in the Windows Midi section of the Device Setup dialogue. This option uses another timing reference in your system when enabled.</li>

He was experiencing drop outs with increase in number of Audio tracks. The hardware he was using was TASCAM FW 1804 and the buffer was set to 256 samples for a latency of 9.9 milliseconds approximately. The number of tracks in the particular project he was having problem had went up to <span style="color: red;"><b>126 Tracks</b></span>.<br />
<br />
We increased the buffer to 1024 samples ( increasing the latency) and the problem was solved. Even if you have audio events only on few tracks - the increase in number of tracks blocks resources for itself when you are using asio drivers. So if you want to work with more audio tracks, you will have to increase latency in order to avoid drop outs. Otherwise try to keep the number of tracks somewhere between 30 to 40 for smooth operation, if you are using vst instrument and looking for lower latency to program midi. Nowadays almost all software's come with a " <b>FREEZE " </b>feature which allows you to freeze you midi track and unload your vst instrument freeing extra resources. When you freeze a vst instrument - the midi track gets converted into audio file and is routed through the vst track.<br />
<br />
I will explain freeze function some other day. Now if you ever experience drop outs while working on a project don't panic.Sarveshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15307057584744494091noreply@blogger.com0
