Topic: H6 froze at rd last night

[fguidry]

I was running with the extra two inputs, 5 channels total. Upon startup with a 32 gb card it would not load until i removed the card and started the device. It worked the night before when i was running 48/24 but when i was running 192/24 it froze.

Doesn't this instantly cause you to question the SD card performance?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention improved transient response as well. Silly me.

Nyquist'd have something to say about that too...

That's not to say there aren't reasons for having higher sample rates, but recording for human audiences isn't one of them. Sound effects generation (where you slow down things like bat squeaks) is one such, and plugin/digital processing where you are trying to spread out the aliasing effect of processing over a much larger area is another.

I seem to recall that the esteemed Mr. Stoppable, in one of the earlier sampling rate discussions, mentioned that up-sampling/processing/down-sampling would also accomplish this.

It does (thats what I do actually as I record at 44.1). Note, I said "having higher sample rates" not "recording at higher sample rates." 

I kind of figured that from some of your previous posts, but thought I'd mention it anyway.  It's kind of counter-intuitive (to me at least), and I'd imagine it is more so for the 192 kHz believers.

What class SD card?
Try class 10 with UHS-1 that will have 400x or 600x; lots more bandwidth for all the data you are trying to write at once to the disk.

plus, always best to test, test, test, test in a controlled environment before venturing out into the real world.  I'd be sure to thoroughly test how the system works at 24/96 before assuming that it will reliably operate at that sample rate/bit depth

Being a backup, I test it in the field because my SD 722 has yet to fail me.

I have yet to have any problems recording at 24/96 with my H6, as that has been the only Bit and SR I have run with the H6.  I am using both Monster 32 and 64 gig SDHC  C10 cards.  I also run the optional backup through the H6 at times while recording at certain venues and or bands. No issues at all...knock on wood!
