DL32r skips when I record

Friends
I decided to have a go at the recording feature of the 32r.  I popped in a new 64gig flash drive.  When into the recording section and formatted it.  I was playing some music on channel 25 so I selected "A" and all 32 tracks then hit record.  I made about a minute recording then stopped it, waited and selected "B" and hit play.  For about 5 seconds it sounded great then it just starting skipping like a bad record the whole way through.

As it was a wave file I opened it with Audacity and it skipped there as well.

The 32r is sitting quietly on a work bench with no vibrations anywhere.

Help :(

I would say the hard drive is bad, even if it's new :(

Hi Musicman,

A couple firmware updates ago Mackie improved recording abilities on the DL32R,
so make sure you are using the most current firmware.

I have found some media doesn't work well with the DL32R.
Try different USB sticks, SSD and spinning hard drives.
I'm using a Sandisk SSD that connects with a short USB cable.

Good health,  Weogo

I will check but I think I am using the most up to date version of the software.

Thank you

I used a Western Digital USB drive and it worked fine and recorded the entire night

The great thing about being able to record on the fly is that I was able to record each song individually.

In fact during sound check the keyboard player was a bit skeptical about how he sounded.  So as he played rocket man and sang it I recorded it.  The I motioned to him to come out front and played it back.  He was amazed and liked the sound.

Wow thank you Mackie :)
