    My problem is to choose a right pen drive,

    I have a digital mixer Qu24 and I tested this Lexar pen drive: Lexar S75 32GB USB 3.0 JumpDrive – LJDS75-32GABEU – Orange
    Results are: 2 track stereo recording(OK), multi track recording with an eletronic drum 7 channel (few errors), multi track recording electronic drum + 2 keyboard tracks; (many errors) recording seems skipping in several parts.

    So I saw these pen drives that I could buy:

    Here’s a slight update…I specifically ordered a SanDisk Extreme 3.0 USB flashdrive from Amazon around Christmas only to have a v3.1 delivered. I believe this marks the end of v3.0 as we know it. On a positive note, I returned it and went to Best Buy and bought a SanDisk Extreme 250GB External 3.0 USB SSD, formatted it for Qu Drive and recorded 55 minutes of multitrack with zero errors…this is good news.

    That really is good news.
    And they are reasonable prices too…so are we talking this one here?

    That looks like the one I have. I think it yields about 7+ hours recording time for 18 tracks.

    Hello everyone, I introduce myself gianni 58, I bought December 2017 mixer qu16, now I would like to try making recordings help me to understand what kind of usb it takes? Those normal 3.0 skips the song, then there is no way to directly connect the mixer to the Windows 8 pc record directly on the PC? Thank you.

    Hi Gianni 58, Because high capacity usb pens cost a lot and there are so many problem of compatibility with them, I ordered the SanDisk Extreme 250GB External 3.0 USB Solid State Drive, I bought it in amazon.it I will let you know how it will work,
    I think that is more cheap than other usb pens and more realiable but I am going to test it, but some other in the forum has tested it and works fine.
    I also recordered in multitrack mode on a new windows Pc (Asus I7 8GB RAM) with the software Cubase elements 9, recording ok but I had problem in the multitrack playback mode to the QU24 with audio noisees (maybe is due to Windows and windows drivers or Hardware Pc) I noticed high latency about 100ms, so I Switch to an old Macbook pro mid 2010( I5 , 4GB ram) now it works all better… is more stable I think… and Latency is about 7 msec… it seems strange but an old mac book pro works better… I don’t know why.

    Bye Marco B

    Hello, newbie here.
    Going to be doing multi-track recording with the Qu-16, so I’ve gone thru this entire thread and the list of tested devices.
    Ordered one of the “tested” WD hard drives.

    I’m wondering something, if someone could help on how you do it, that would be great.

    I keep reading that once you format the HDD, that you should only use it for Qu-drive data. I get that.
    But that does not stop you from using it to transfer files to your other devices, such as plugging it into a PC or MAC, in order to edit those files in a DAW or other program, correct?

    Said differently, how do you best go about transferring recorded WAV files to other devices?

    Formatting the drive just wipes all data off it, configures it correctly and sets up the standard folder structure used by the mixer. Once this has been done, the drive can be used on the mixer or on your PC/Mac for transferring files to and from the desk, just make sure you leave the folder structure the same.

    Jake.
