Quick question, can I see the time remaining on the disk connected?

I think I saw a PDF manual for the record feature somewhere, do you know where that is, or am I imagining it?

EDIT:

Ready to go tonight, 26 channels, 7 hour rock festival, using an Alesis HD24 as a backup, just in case

Recorded 7 hours last night, 26 channels onto some no name NexStar 2.5", powered by the UFX. I stopped between bands to get new file numbers, just to make it easier to identify later.

Everything worked like intended until all of the sudden I got >99 ERR on the screen. Unplugged the drive, and plugged it back in, it started initializing, but eventually showed file system error.

I then plugged the disk into the computer I had with me, took the last files off the disk, and plugged it back into the UFX, it initalized and I could start recording again.

Any ideas why this happened? I had an Alesis HD24 recording as well as a backup, so I didn't loose anything...

Mine or tamasdragon's, or both?

I've used the UFX three days in a row now to record live shows, 16 channels on the first night, then 9 and then 26 last night. The files from the first two nights import just fine into Pro Tools, but the 26 channel files will not import at all, giving me the "Could not complete the import audio command because assertion in [some file path]". The files can be imported into other programs such as Audacity, just not Pro Tools.

What is the quickest way to split the interleaved files into separate mono files?

How do I find that out for sure? I'm having trouble with a similar WD drive.I've looked for hidden directories and can't find any. I've also formatted with GUIformat and Acronis for WD.

BTW, I've recorded on a 2 gig Microcruzer stick that DOES have a protected software partition containing
their U3 software, and it worked fine.

Thanks Moshiko. I'll try that out as soon as they release the next update. Still need the mackie control to work flawlessly. For now I'm back to using firmware 112 and tmfx 0.93.

BTW, can I use 2 partitions on the same hd and still get it working with UFX?  I would like to use two 500gb partitions on my drive. One for UFX and one ntfs partition for moving big files between windows and mac.

Please look at the screenshot below. This is a section where I'm joining back together two files from a recording that was split after it hit the 2gb mark. The upper are the two regions and the lower is after consolidation. They don't match up and I can hear a pop where they meet.

This is with maximum zoom, the distance between grid lines is 10 samples.

Please let me know if there's something I can do to prevent this from happening.

The drive was full.

Did your first drive only support USB3?
I thought there's no difference between USB3 and USB2 drives when connected to USB2 port. At least my WD USB3 drive says it's 100% USB2 compatible. Does this mean I should also take my HD back to the store and get something else? Or will the next update already support the drive?

I did a total wipe and reformat last night of my WD USB3 drive to no avail .
Great to hear that the next revision will resolve this issue.

Thank You.

Actually I am getting the same symptom. There is not a perfect alignment of the segments.
On only a couple tracks its not so obvious but add up 30 and its horrible. I havent posted about
it because i figured I must be the one doing something wrong, but at full zoom the wav segments
dont match up and im getting a pop.

Unfortunatley I just dont have the time to do another test and post a screen shot of my own as I am
ramping up for a huge festival and wont be able to come up for air till after next week.

Hopefully its operator error but I dont think so.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have recording problems with the UFX, let me explain...
I've updated the latest DSP firmware 129, firmware: v342 & driver: v1.50
My Spectralis2 goes through channel 1/2 and my Vermona DRM goes through channel 5/6 when i hit record it records with no problems i can even replay it through the UFX but when i unplug my harddrive from the UFX and hook it up to my macbook i cannot open the WAV file with iTunes like before so i need to open with Quicktime after i play the file i only hear the Spectralis2 synth?? i dont hear the Vermona DRM drums...btw i use the Spectralis2 to trigger the MIDI channel 1&5 of Vermona DRM but the L&R output i have it on UFX channel 5/6 so i dont know why i wont record on the WAV file...please help!

THANKS!

Hi Frnak,

You are right! after i opened with Audacity i see 4 separate files thanks!.

The simple and most obvious question is: these are clearly audible clicks. Can you hear them when you play back the same file crossing from the UFX?

I haven't tried playing it back on the UFX, but in my DAW (tried Pro Tools, Logic and Reaper) I can hear it on quiet tracks, not on loud ones.

Good news.  Thanks, Matthias.  Did a test last night where I connected an iPad talking wirelessly to a MacBook Pro, and a  Pro Tools session.  Was able to control the UFX, or Pro Tools using the iPad application (called "AC-7").  Very, very cool...

There are ways of automating the process, until RME makes a tool for us. What I did was install the sox command line audio library for the mac, and make a shell script that automatically extracts the tracks and consolidates them into longer files.

I just type "ufx_consolidate UFX04" into the terminal and then it rolls through all the UFX04 files for example (UFX04_01.WAV UFX04_02.WAV etc). If you install sox (availble with macports), I can send you the script. You still have to add the track names, but for long recording sessions with lots of tracks it's a GREAT timesaver.

Yeah it's probably best for those people to wait for the final release. I'm sure RME will release some management tools when the recording feature is ready.
