M-Audio MicroTracker details **PART II**

[Simp-Dawg]

oh ok, but will this be able to recorder larger than 2gb

m-audio says the next firmware upgrade should address this, maybe by the time it's released that will not be an issue.

This looks like one...

holla back! I was just kind of lazy and didn't want to search for it! would it work though?

I don't see why it wouldn't...left is left, right is right...

well that will be an issue to me, i am surprised that no one brought up this issue

this issue has been brought up before, and I contacted M-Audio's tech support in regards to this question.  I posted this in one of the other threads.

well, today I got an answer from M-Audio tech support in regards to the 2 GB file limit and a possible autosplit feature.

here is the relevant text from a couple of emails:

Jason,

The FAT32 file format has a 2GB limit for an individual file.
We plan on releasing updates for this product through out it's life cycle. Although we cannot give more information at this time, please check back for updates.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Take Care,

LE

and after further questioning:

Yes, the file split feature will be implemented in the next few weeks with
an update we are releasing.

So, there's our answer.  I hadn't seen any info about this yet, so I thought I'd go ahead and post it here for everyone.

It seems clear to me that they are aware of this issue.  because the shipment of these got delayed to the end of August anyway, IMO, it is likely that they will ship with this issue already resolved.

Just got an email from Chris at Sound Professionals, he heard from M-Audio that the FlashTracker release is put off until September.

Some heads up for the european guys. The retail price for the MicroTrack in germany is 499 €. I assume that will be the price for most of the european countries as well. One german dealer has it listed for 449 € now.

if ya dont like my hatin, dont read it, this IS a micro tracker thread, not an overpriced and late release thread and its my opinion

[Simp-Dawg]

bean is right though...if this thing materializes even this year it will be about 5 times faster than sound devices....from first mention to product shipping it's still only been a few months.

your opinions made it into the 722/744 threads  

even though i disagree with them it doesn't mean i won't respect them, read them, or counter with my own

not to mention i'm interested in this device as well
