found one of the files I recorded before I shipped off my V3 @ 24/96.  Opened soundforge 8 and it was recorded at 24/96  :o.   I didn't check to see if the channels flipped though.  Will check it out when my V3 get back home.

I recorded a show last night and ran two small test files on the openers just to see if I should set the MT on L or M (or even H I suppose).  When I got home, the second test file and the main recording transferred fine (from my CF reader) but the first test file wouldn't transfer because it was "corrupt". Anyone know what would cause this?  I'm using 1.2.3 fw and a Rosewill 1GB CF card.

I recorded my first show last night (Garage A Trois) and everything worked flawlessly. I transferred the files as soon as I got back from the show and everything sounds great. Settings were 24 bit, 44.1khz from 1/4" inputs, on a Hitachi 4GB microdrive. Just thought I would add my experience to the list. I am on 1.2.3 firmware.

Garage A Trois.. Well hot damn man, great way to start! Seed that bad boy  ;)

I'm jealous. I lived in seattle for our years and wish more of the skerik projects came around here.

In another post it stated that the spidf in worked at 24/96 so, I set up and tried it and yes, the spidf will take a 24/96 signal now.  Do you think they know it or in working on something else this problem got fixed? 
performed one quick test at 24/96 spdif...when I looked at the file on my PC, it indicated that it was 24/48 ??? Atleast it didn't freeze up...

Did the PC play the file fine at 24/48?
Was the file length as to be expected for 24/48?
Or was it double in size, more like 24/96 size?
Maybe the MT cannot do 24/96 yet and the samplerate is disabled?
Good questions that I don't have the answers to...I was just testing that it would not Freeze up at 24/96 spdif. and when it did not lock up, I assumed that all was well (24/96) until I looked at it through the PC...I can do further tests this weekend...

BTW, from my experience, it doesn't seem that they fixed the channel swapping yet.  I recorded YMSB on the 30th and 31st at 24/44.1.  No channel swapping for either set on the 30th, both sets had swapped channels on the 31st.  V3>MT using Kingston 45x CF card on the 30th, and using a Hitachi 4gb microdrive on the 31st.

So microdrive swaps more than CF?

So if we can find more evindence the swapping is related to drive/card speed.

Perhaps, but I somewhat doubt it.  I've had lots of problems with channel swapping using my Kingston 45x CF card.  I only use the Hitachi 4gb microdrive with longer shows where I need both cards.  It seems unlikely they would've fixed the channel swapping that was happening with the CF card and still left it buggered up enough that there was still channel swapping with microdrives.

i think todd is right regardless of media used... it is just an intermittent problem.  that being the case, it may be harder to fix.  it is like taking your car into get fixed because it is making a noise and then the mechanic says he can't hear any of noises you are talking about.

Is my understanding correct that the channel swapping only happens when recording via SPDIF?

Isn't that how you pause while recording? I thought it was a feature.
