Has anyone had problems with the auto file split? My recording from last night is not gapless. v3.02

Ran 4 nights in a row and zero issues.  are you just pasting the file to the end of the other one in your editing software?

I'm using foobar2k to combine them, where I've had no issues in the past. Even when playing the files individually, the gap is still there.

Never used foobar for that but just did and it worked as expected.  Are you combing the poly wav's?  or just 2 channel?  I use waveagent to split and combine the poly to 2 channel files (if recording more than 2 channels).  Then in wavelab I open both files and simply copy and paste the second one to the end of the first one.

But again I just used the merge/convert in foobar and played them individually and there is no gap.  Are you perhaps using pre roll?  Wonder if that has something to do with it.

I do have the pre-roll turned on and I believe that this is the second outing with the new firmware - I recorded with 2 channels last time so i didn't hit the split point on the first outing. I exported channels 1 & 2 from the polywave 4 channel file using wave agent, but the split problem is on the raw wav files as well. I'll probably revert back to the last firmware and see if that corrects the problem.

I'd try a test without pre roll.  There are issues reported with it so I wouldn't trust it anyway.

make sure to select the last STABLE one.
2.21?

Which doesn't have pre roll so start with turning it off to troubleshoot before rolling back firmware.  As I said there are other issues with pre roll (slow media error) so I wouldn't use it anyway. I've done five shows and three of them had sets over 2gb so they split and zero issues.

I use 3.02 but haven't used the pre-roll.  All my splits have been perfect so far.

I'm testing it (preroll off) now and will update after the split.

Update: file split perfectly with preroll turned off. Thanks for the suggestion, Gordon.

Bored on a Sunday morning was going to update to 3.02 but I guess I’ll wait. I’m still on 1.53.  :yack:

As long as you don't use pre roll it's fine.

Not that I care baecuase I don't even know the real purpose, but you guys are way over the 25 page mark.

On topic now, did SD have so many updates for the 7xx boxes?
Seems these have had lot of updates in the short time they have been out.
I guess that's good in some ways, as we know some others never update and just leave the issues there

I let them know. It's really a non-issue as long as it's solely related to pre-roll, as I usually just set it to record from the time I get set up.

It looks like the 722 had 16 firmware revisions before being discontinued. We are on #12 for the Mixpre6.

It's a good thing IMO. Sound Devices are quick to respond to customer complaints and roll out updates. Could they do a little more testing before rolling out a new update? Maybe, but problems like the one I had could be a one off due to localized idiot error.
