Why would effects disappear after setting up for mixdown and not be able to be brought back? This has happened on several songs when other songs on the same drive do not have the same problems. For some reason, effects 5 & 6 will come back but not 1,2,3 and 4. Thanks

I'm not using a 2480, but I've read plenty of posts that describe strange behavior and point to fragmented hard drives as a source and fix for weirdness like it sounds you are describing. Maybe it's time to defrag. Should probably back everything up to an external media (dvd-r, etc.) before the defrag, in case it messes with your audio data. A Drive Check would be in order maybe, also....... assuming the 2480 has Drive Check.

Would optimizing the songs help? It's in the middle of a project that would be good to finish without dumping everything off, although I could back up all the data , re initialize the drive and refeed the songs into the machine.

I'm not sure that optimizing would do the trick, only because of what I've read that appears to link erratic behavior with hd's that need cleaning up - defrag is what I've always read.... If you don't min losing the undo levels, optimizing can't hurt, I suppose.

Try copying the song onto another hard drive partition first. Then change to the new partition and see if it works.
Regardless, always keep all of your data backed up - all of it!

I have a lot of experience on the 1680 but the 2480 is a work in progress for me. I always optimized songs on the 1680 to save space, but don't see where to go on the 2480 to do the same thing. Where do you go on the 2480 to optimize a song?

Do you need a copy of the owners manual? If so, pm me.
PROJECT> F6 MARK the song you want to optimize> PAGE until you find the F command for optimzie> follow the prompts

How many vs8f-2 cards have you got installed??.. and have you used or been using the spectrum analyzer thingy?? if so.. you have to shut it off as it will use up a whole vs8f-2 card which in turn when in the mastering room will cause your effects to not function.. has happened to me when I first started .

I have 3 vsf-2 s installed. I think I found the disappearing effects. I had turned off all of the input channels and aux sends to minimize noise, not realizing that the aux sends fed the add on effects. This is a different beast than the 1680. So far, I have resurrected the effects. (how appropriate for Easter.) I'm sure this won't be my last question on this machine. Thank you everybody.

Also.. when in the mastering room .. being you only have 3 cards installed keep in mind that the mastering room takes up one whole card as well... so again.. if you chose to master on the card you had effects on .. that would cut them out as well.... I know you said you found the issue but just pointing that out in case you didn't know for future reference....
