Finally got my BackTraxx 1 today. Fed Ex was a bit slow for some reason...but all is well now Smile

After previewing some of the tracks, I do believe I got an excellent deal! Lots of great tracks there. I also got the Holiday Stack Traxx. Very cool how that works.

Thanks again for the heads up on this great deal Dave Smile

According to an email I received today, this offer is still in effect for a few more days, though the special bonus offerings seem to have expired. Still, it's a lot of excellent music for just $100.

Got my collection Fri., 12-1-06.

Looks great, but the discholder book it came in was trashed! All the sleeves were torn open on the side, and the discs in dissaray in the box... doesn't look to be any disc damage, though.

Did the rest of you get just 29 discs in the main collection?.. then the extra disc of your choice, and .... what the heck is that last disc they include with the package?

Again, DH, thanks for the tip... I'm in the music now!

Thanks, Bob....

'Stayed up late, and found the Digital Juice link explaining what Digital Juicer 3.0 is, and how to use it. According to them, the Juicer is: "... a small application that acts as a media manager and converter, helping you to search, sort and find exactly the file you need and then export that file into the format that you need..."

Click HERE for the link.

It's a P D F file you can download.
All the best!

OK - so I didn't buy it - because I spent a loooong time on the site trying to decide which one of the "extra" disks to include with my order and couldn't find ANY that sounded usable to my ears. I listened to a bit of nearly every cut on every one of those extra disks.

One of the things I loved to do as a producer was to sit in the audio room and scan through the music library - reading the descriptions to select a bunch of disks. Then listening to the first couple of seconds of each until I had a short list. Then reading a bit of the script over each of the cuts on that list.

As hard as I tried, I couldn't "hear" anything I had done recently backed up by those "free" tracks.

At this point, that part of the offer is gone - maybe if I have time, I'll listen to some of the cuts of the regular disks since so many of you seem so happy with them.

It really would be nice to have some extra music around for those rare times.

I just used some for the new Back Trax for stuff I recorded with my last VO class.

Spiffy!!

Like Jowillie, I cannot (and MAN I've tried) get the Juicer 3.0 to work for me. When I ask it to Install Previews per the directions... the program does not respond. I'm using my DVD player like it says (even though most are CD's), and I'm using my first disc like it says. Nothing!

'Can't get it to play in Windows Media Player either.

How are the rest of you previewing and extracting these files?

Dave did you get a Stack Traxx? I used the Stack Traxx DVD and it pulled the list and preview files just fine. When I tried with the cd's, it wouldn't work for me either. Beats me....I'll try again later when I have more time to piddle with it.

Dave · Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2006 12:41 pm Post subject:

Received both BackTraxx (1&2) in perfect condition... and surprizingly...have already used cuts from both. Some of the cuts I doubt I will ever use as they just aren't my taste but I can say the same with the other library I have as well...and I spent more for it than both BackTraxx combined Frown

As for the "Juicer" software... I thought it was just me cause I haven't been able to get it to work either. It will install but will not pull in the tracks on the library discs as advertised. More tinkering will be needed...or I may break down and call customer service and see what they have to say. They have been very accomodating the last two times I called them. In the meantime, I just use the index CD to preview the tracks and it works fine for both Mac and peecee.
Haven't even played with the StackTraxx yet.

According to some research I've done on the Juicer problem it may be due to DLA settings. (DLA = Drive Letter Access). To correct the problem, check this link:

http://www.digitaljuice.com/support/knowledgebase/topic_detail.asp?tid=57

Be sure to read the entire text, though, as you may not want to perform this operation if you are needing packet writing.

Also, since I haven't yet received my library and haven't actually seen the software in action it's difficult to troubleshoot. However, it may be wise to check to see which version of Juicer came with the library. My bet is that it's version 2 and there's a newer version 3 downloadable on the Digital Juice web site. This may also solve some problems.

Let me know how it goes.

TC,

We salute you for your ingenuity. What is the advantage of doing the itunes process rather than using the #29 disc which is already cataloged with full samples?
