Here's an email response on my inquiry into an updated firmware that addresses the 2gb file limitation.

"The 2 gig limit is a limitation of the file format (FAT32). We will a have a firmware update coming that will allow a continuous recording that will split at the 2 gig point.
-Aaron Raab
Email Support Specialist"

So it is coming...

Interesting.

So what is going to happen when you hit the 2 gig mark while recording before the new firmware that "is coming" is actually a reality?

what hes saying is, if you transfer your first set from the MT to your otg drive, it will be named 001, once you reformat the cf card and start the next set, that file name will be 001 also, since the microtracker would presumably see that file as the first since it is, it doesnt count how many sets you tape ;)

Well, that would be silly.  I have a four year old Sony mavica digicam and it remembers file names, so no matter what mini cdr i toss in it starts with the next file name that would be instead of starting over. 

Regardless, i think the MicroTracker may replace my M1 for my birthday   :D

Back to the microdrives.. In addition to the higher battery consumption and heat, they will emit more RF than CF due to the motor, etc.  No way to know without testing whether it will impact the analog input of the MT.

These are the two emails I got from M-Audio today...

The MicroTrack formats media 512MB and under FAT 16.
Everything above that it formats FAT 32.
You can use the largest media you can find.
The longest "file" you can record is 2GB.
But you can record as many 2GB files as your media will support.

Oh and as of now you can go to guygraphics.com and pay $349 plus $6.67 UPS Ground... I've bought stuff from them before and they're very reputable.

I didn't know there was a problem until I saw myself sitting there with a glass of tap water, eating an oregano sandwich on a two week old hamburger bun... and the only thing going through my mind was, "God I love this new shotgun!"

I couldn't find anything in the manual about a 2 gig limit.

I just found these two items.



8. Record Time Available: . . . . This is not an adjustable parameter—it merely shows the space available on the media in the
MicroTrack 24/96. When you select this option, it may take a moment to calculate the available
time and display on the screen. This information is provided to help you verify you will have
enough recording space before recording, and make a choice of which recording parameters to
use. If you see that you’re getting low on memory space, you can choose to use MP3 encoding
instead of WAV to yield smaller recordings. Keep in mind this feature only accounts for recording
space when determining record time—it does not account for battery life.

Interesting that the table stops at 88.2?

fwiw, the Oades unadervtised price beats anything i've seen so far.

what i'm wondering w/this 2gb file limit...is will there be continuous recording and new files created?
i'm sure this has been brought up already in the 100 pages of discussion, i'm just not going to dig for it.
:)
wont that be funny...if it doesn't.  and we all buy this thing...and use it at 16bit.
d'oh!!!


BTW:..
can't get that Beer up here in New England.  But I drank it once in FL, and loved it.
never heard of it before then

it doesnt...as of now it wont seamlessly create a new file, so it will likely take a stop start activity like the R1 does today to deal with the 2 Gb limit until they program it into their firmware...which according to some messages posted a while back that is something they are working on with a future firmware release

Have you been reading any of Part IV??? Besides the 100 other times this discussion has been brought up, it's overtaken the MT discussion. M-AUDIO has said there will be a firmware release at somepoint to address a 2gb limit. We just don't know if that's already happened, or if it's in the future....

Hi all,

very interesting discussion of m-audio micro-tracker ... I hope it will turn out as the long anticipated all-in-one box we tapers waited for so long ;o)) ...

Can anyone speculate about the ability to set track marks during recording ? Would be a nice feature ...

Anyway ... Thank you all for the information ... Hope M-Tracker will be out asap !

d'oh!!!

I think just as intriguing will be how BT and archive deal with the sudden influx of 24-bit files. Then again, maybe people with do their own dithering to 16-bit first. Outside of a lot of us audio geeks, most people don't care if they get 24/16 bit files, WAV or MP3... Thus the sales of the iPod.
