Keith-
Thanks so much for time and the insight. Very much enjoy/appreciate all the time you have put in w/ videos, Live Stream Sessions, etc… The ones w/ Andre Schaier were interesting.
As its intended behavior its no biggie. AS long as the channels come through where I want them for sound check its all good. Strange it did it to the first 2 channels only not the others, but as you intimated it may be how I have things patched/labeled. I will have to look at my patching and experiment. Just a minor head scratcher… good for a rainy day distraction.
The SanDisk Ultra worked like crap. Formatting using the FAT32 tool THEN formatting on the SQ made a SIGNIFICANT improvement. FAT32 took several hours for 128GB, SQ Drive much less (quick format?). So I can only guess when FAT32 formats all blocks it enhances data I/O on the Ultra.
No issues after… I had 17 channels going into the SD Ultra and recording all of them (albeit with only one channel with signal). Before using the two stage formatting procedure it was a train wreck (load meter was in the RED… lots of errors), after it was great (load meter showed minimal load). I wonder if all 17 channels had a hot signal if it would put more of a demand/load on the SD Ultra… I have not used my SQ for a gig yet, so I’m sure time will tell.
Yeah I may try a mini SSD to see if that does the trick, if the SD Ultra can’t keep up w/ a real performance. With recording to a SSD on SQ drive later I can simply port some songs to the Ultra for virtual sound checks of my own band and just leave the Ultra attached to back up shows and such. I also setup Tracks Live on a PC and it works top notch over USB-B.
Would using a mini SSD draw too much current from the SQ drive USB port? I don’t want to damage it w/ an excessive load.
Thanks for the help. I hope this post may be useful for other Cadets attempting to do the same.
