Does anyone experience file errors when recording to USB drives?
Numerous times I finish recording, successfully save the file, then when I try to load it into a deck or play on laptop, etc, it says there is an error with the file. Using a 32GB SanDisk Ultra fit formatted exFAT.
Now I’m just a bedroom DJ so mixes not recording is just inconvenient and annoying, however I can imagine for any pros this could be a serious problem.
I’m going to see if the same happens using a SD card…but I shouldn’t have to
Go is not a “PRO” level device. SC6000/X1850 is “PRO” level. Not a single standalone unit with recording capability will buffer record output before writing to media - You’ll need a good amount of internal memory to buffer a 2h wav record file before writing. Remember that you simultaneously write and read from the same stick - A slow/bad stick may not be fast enough. Of course, due to copyright issues, you can’t record from streaming sources.
Anyone who does not understand that simple fact is definitely not a PRO dj based on his lack of knowledge about the DJ gear they are using. I’ve seen all kind of arguments including “then why is it labeled as “Prime” Go?”
you cannot expect the same features/hardware that are on a 3000€$ setup to be present on the 1400€$ (I’m looking at you Prime 4 owners!)or 1000€$ one.
I tried a different drive last night and it worked okay. It was a newer USB 3.1 drive, the problematic one is 3.0. Maybe this makes a difference. I’ll keep trying with the new drive and see. It was always an intermittent issue, but happening more often than not.
Cool!
Internal stick memory speed is more important than USB interface speed/type (2.0 / 3.0 / 3.1).
On my SC5000’s some high quality USB 2.0 Sticks run faster/smoother than ‘bad rep’ 3.1 sticks.
Adata UV128 128Gb stick is blazing fast, but Kingston DT50 128Gb is a piece of ■■■■. Both are 3.1 USB’s.
A Sata SSD on a 2.0 USB Caddy works perfectly, so USB transfer speed isnt the bottleneck - Storage memory speed is.
