I have loaded two standard commercial discs into Microstudio on all three computers with success.
I was able to load thirty bin files into Hoster on only one computer, the other two computers crash.
Both the computers that crash will report that Hoster has encountered a problem and must close.
One computer reports a "Buffer error". The same computer reports "ERROR! normalization by zero not valid!"
On both computers that malfunction, one or two bin files have loaded into Hoster. It took a long time.
I'm sorry but I work a mid shift and usually by 12:30 PM EST I am out the door.
Thanks for the help
Santo

Hoster crashes during file download

I can't say I am totally comfortable using the forum. So pardon Me If I offend Someone, but I have experienced very quick responce in the past and am afraid I did something wrong when submitting My last reply. I used the title of "reply" Instead of "Hoster crashes during file download" and expect that may be the problem. Please review My last post #7 and let Me know if I did something wrong.

Santo, can you import CDG from hard drive or disc on the two computers that crash on BIN import? I ask just to isolate whether BIN import is the only problem or if it is importing in general.

On the computer giving the two errors listed above, try deleting your song database, then open Hoster and rebuild it. The second error deals with database operation and you may have a corrupt song database that is causing this. The buffer error I am not sure of. Was there any more information about this error?

Also, you do realize that once you import these into Hoster on one computer then all you have to do is copy those KMA files from one computer to the other two and rebuild their database to add them in. I know this doesn't fix the problem but it is a work around if you need them now.

First, you are using these Forums correctly. Sometimes there simply isn't anyone there to answer for a while. These are FREE, and you need to expect delays in getting answers.

What version of Hoster are you using, and is it identical on all 3 computers?

The message: "ERROR! normalization by zero not valid!" indicates you have Compressor/Limitor/Normalization enabled to process the file amplitudes. These are enabled in the "Change Settings" button. Try disabling these.

All three computers are running Hoster 3313 And Microstudio 3004.

Where is the "Change Settings" button?

It's not there any longer in 3.313, so that can't be the solution.

I'll talk to Engineering today on this problem.

I am testing this problem now. I have imported 20 tracks from a few CD's into Microstudio 3.004 as .bin files.

I now take these files into Hoster 3.13 and setup the correct filename field orders, then start importing.

I have imported all 20 files without any problem. Can you send me the .bin files that you are having it crash with, so that we can look at those files that will cause the problem.

You can send them to

Hoster crashes during file download

Please remember I have sucessfully loaded .bin files from Microstudio to Hoster on one of My computers and have done so a number of times!
I am working with DKK2002 the original disc, Not a copy. I can try other discs but I feel the results will still be the same.
Both computers are now acting the same. When I hit the Import files button the converting HDD track box appears along with an hour glass for about 10 seconds and then Hoster closes out sending Me back to the desk top.
Will send You the disc DKK2002 if You wishI will try other discs over the weekend. Please advise Me if you want the disc.
