OK, let me start by saying that I've recently upgraded the SD card for my R-44 to a 32gb Kingston Class 6 SDHC card....Up until last weekend, I've not really had any major use for its complete capacity, so this problem sort of comes as a surprise....
I say "sort of" because I had transferred some files from a hard disc based CD recorder and had a similar issue once....I never thought anything about it, since I could easily re-transfer...just blew it off as a digital error...
What's happening is after a few hours of solid recording (think 5 hours of on/off festival sets), I get chunks of the wave files that are nothing but static....followed by actual recorded sound...then more static...
Its obvious that the recording reaches a certain point and works perfectly up until that point then decides to freak out.
What was really weird, in some instances, I was getting chunks of audio from a completely different file inserted into the file in question.
Wanee example: My ABB set looked fine for the first 35 min but after that I was getting chunks of the Mule set (which was after ABB) followed by static for the remainder of the time on the ABB file...FWIW, it was the same chunk of Mule audio being repeated.
I know this has to either be a SD card speed issue or firmware issue on the R-44. I've never upgraded the R-44, so before I do I just wanted to see if anyone has experienced this or anything similar.
Much help would be appreciated.
FWIW, It's happened at both 16/44 & 24/48 sample rates...
Thanks in advance....
