I'm still guessing it's the card. I have had zero problems with my Sandisk Ultra II 4 gig card, which is rated at 60X. all of my recordings have been via S/PDIF from the V3, and the last couple at 24/48. In fact, tonight, I'm taking it out without my D8. (but, Scott and I are running a comparison of the V3 A/D at 24 bit and the ad2k+ at 24 bit, so in the event that my recording messes up, we'll still have his V3 > ad2k > laptop recording.) Anyway, I would suggest buying a faster card.
the lack of any problems on my end lead me to this conclusion. that's the only thing different from our setups, right? at least, that's the only thing I can think of.
sounds like a good idea, 60x is a big jump up from what I am using. Any good links for where to score one of these?
Thanks for the input, +t!
I bought mine from Newegg.com. right now, the 4gig Sandisk Ultra II cards are $327. you might be able to find a better deal if you look around the web. but Sandisk, Lexar, etc.. are always more pricy than other cards.
I am not sure of the exact speed, but it supports up to 9.4MB/sec. I was recording at 16/48 for both acts.
even though its rated at 9.4MB/sec (which should be WAY overboard, as stereo 24/96 is only about 0.5MB/sec), I'm guessing it's still the card. it seems to me like the microdrives have a harder time sustaining the data rate, compared to CF cards.
the fact of the matter is, NO cf card or microdrive is really designed for continuous writing. because the VAST majority of users are using them for photos, which is only a few MB of data at any given time. when we're trying to use the cards for sustained writing for hours on end, I don't think we can really trust the rated speeds of the cards. better to go overboard with media speed and hope to avoid the issue altogether, IMO. (of course, as I'm writing this now, I hope I'm not jinxing myself for tonights show
of course, I'll post if anything bad happens.)
