well the mt1 shows you the total time based on 24/96
and the 4hrs adds to the same way
so i assumed thats whats its doing
but who knows, after all it is maudio we are talking about here
edit i just double checked my mt1
if you are running digi in then it 100% gives you the total time based on 24/96
if you set it to 1/4 in you can then set the sample rate as well and it gives you a different time based on the settings
That is awful... might not be such a big deal for the MT1, but given that one of the II's selling points is the ability to auto-magically & seemlessly switch to a new file this is suddenly a lot less useful. If I'm recording at 24/48, I'd expect to get about 8 hours out of my 8GB CF card. Unfortuately, if it's calculating the amount of record time based on 24/48, then it's going to assume I'm running out of space at about 4 hours when I've still got twice as much space left. I appreciate you looking, will... just not the answer I was hoping to hear. Guess I need to run some long term digi-in tests and see what's up.
Are you formating it in the MTII? Did you update to the BETA 1.0.4 FW? If you haven't updated yet, that would probably be my first suggestion, the BETA seems pretty solid(like the MT1 I would use a small card for the update though). For 24/48 mine reports I can record for 07:59:05(transcend 8gb 120x card), so I'd guess there is either something up with your card or the MTII just thinks it's a 4gb card for some reason
.
I've got the 1.0.4FW and never looked prior to updating if it showed the correct time remaining, so I'm not sure what is was saying before that.
On another note M-Audio seems rather confused still about the "no backlight on hold" issue, I got a note from them asking if I had it switched to "always on" or not...
. They just don't seem to get the problem. It's been almost a month since I first reported that to them, and am just now getting a response that doesn't help.
