How to record stereo to a USB drive

[Russel]

I havent been successful in recording stereo to a USB drive

The instructions arent clear enough

For instance how to setup channel assignments
The screen Config/USB offers 4 areas to enter channel assignments, but how to choose these, and what do these assign,ments do?

Guidance would be appreciated

Hi @Russel

Stereo recording is routed from the last stereo channel assignment, which is why it has the extra ‘Stereo L/R’ label.
There is a ‘how to’ video all about stereo recording to USB-A here – https://youtu.be/Moo-1lXLX8M?si=1WwsnlTCgmayBEXT

Hope this helps,
Keith.

I have now set the last channel assignment box to Main L/R and I am recording to the USB

However, the playback level is very low. When recording, the Msignal level looks normal – just under 0 – but when I playback a track on the CQ, or listen to a track on my computer the sound volume is very low

Can you help with this please
