Step 2. Create association of DR-008 with DR8 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DR8 file still does not use the DR-008 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DR8 file with the DR-008 program.
Step 3. Update DR-008 to the latest version
If, however, after binding DR-008 with DR-008 Drumkit there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FXpansion Audio UK Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DR8 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DR8 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DR8 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DR8 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DR8 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DR8 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use FXpansion™ Audio UK Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DR8 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DR8 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DR8 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
