Topic: Microtrack 1.4.1b1 firmware released

[jtessier]

M-Audio has a fix for the back to back recordings up on their site now.

http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.drivers&f=725&dl=yes

Or navigate to the Web site, go to Suport -> Drivers -> check the "Show Beta Drivers" checkbox, then choose USB Series -> MicroTrack 24/96 -> then choose any of the operating systems shown (they all lead to the same zip file as far as I can tell).

Here's the Read Me for this release:

This readme covers MicroTrack 24/96 Firmware v1.4.1 b1

NOTE: This is a beta release.  As such, we do not recommend using this release in a critical use environment.  Such use is at your own risk.

If you experience any issues with this release, please use our beta release support form to report it at:

http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.betaform

============================================================
Installation Instructions:

1) Connect the MicroTrack 24/96 to your Mac or PC (Please refer to your manual for details on this procedure).

2) Copy the three files from this update, "PP5020.mi4", "BL_MPR.rom" and "Resources.arl," onto a properly formatted Compact Flash card to the root (top) directory of your MicroTrack 24/96 (Do not put them in a folder).

3) Properly unmount the MicroTrack 24/96 from the computer (Again, please refer to your manual for complete instructions).

4) On the MicroTrack 24/96, navigate to Main Menu > System > Firmware Update and press the NAV button.

5) You will be asked to verify this action. Press the NAV button again to begin the firmware update. The MicroTrack will show a few messages on the screen while the update is in progress. The four LEDs around the level controls will flash sequentially during the update. When the firmware update is complete, the MicroTrack will automatically reboot. To verify the firmware update was executed, go to Main Menu > System > Version. If the firmware update was successful, it should now show Firmware 1.4.1 b1 and Bootloader 1.02

============================================================

Issue(s) addressed by this release

- When manually stopping a recording, if a second recording was started while the first was still being saved, the second recording wouldn't save to disk.

Isn't the Microtrack itself a beta release?

I still like 1.2.3

The two button stop/start was the reason I reverted from 1.4.0 back to 1.3.3 - I'll jump on this one if it solves the issue.

It's working for me so far (finger's crossed).

I still like 1.2.3

I think that's what I'm on too - no real problems other than the meters wigging after 30 minutes or so.

I rarely look at the meters, except when I start a recording.

used  1.4.1b1 tonight.   community school concert 5 & 6 graders and middle school kids.
ran the usual mk-41 >vms 5 > kind kables > v-3 @ 24-48 > mt 24/96.  got a dozen pops, big spikes on the wavs. they are not on the jb-3 back up.
going back to 1.4.0 no problems for me with that.

i've been running 1.2.3 ..... very tempted to upgrade to newer versions, but have not.  My MT has been a rock @ 24/48 and I have yet to run into  set of music long enough to make me stop/start a new file.

very unlike me to use the "if it aint broke, dont fix it" mentality w/my gear.  i'm usualy the first guy to guinnea pig.

been running 1.4 since it came out, ran for two days at the Wu Li festival with no issues ...

ouch, any further testing to see if it is repeatable?

I was about to throw in 1.4.1b1 for Summer Camp this weekend, guess I will hold off on that!

Thanks for sharing the info, +t.
