Don't you hate it when you do that! I erased a long, very good take
myself last week, when I thought I was erasing a track I made by
mistake while walking.
It's a good rule to never erase anything in the field!
In my case I was able to recover the latter part of the erased track,
the part not recorded over by subsequent recordings, by cloning the
MD directory, and that was the good part of the track.
I've just discovered that the Sony deck in my studio is capable of
cloning directories. Send me the disc if you want and I'll see if
it's still there.
If you -know- you made an erasure mistake, or get a TOC error, the
important thing is not to record any more on that disc. In my case I
didn't know till I transferred the audio, so I lost the beginning of
the long take by recording over it.
