Recording a concert Friday night. First 2 bands went fine. Partway through the 3rd band, I happened to notice that the DAW wasn’t advancing. Reaper said it was recording, but the counter and waveform weren’t changing. Stopped and started recording, no change. Restarted Reaper, and it told me it couldn’t find the SQ. Looked in System Audio, and sure enough, no SQ. Swapped the cable, plugged into a another laptop, no go. Switched the desk to SQ Drive and back, no go. SQ Drive appeared to be working, and I happened to have one of the few sticks I own that handles SQ Drive reliably, so I started recording on that. No errors before the 3rd band ended, so I recorded the headliner via SQ Drive instead of attempting a mid concert desk reboot.
Fired up the board for yesterday’s show, and it’s all happy again.
I really really really wish we had redundant recording on SQ Drive and USB output, like we do on Qu.
