Have a verified USB Kingston stick, with stored shows and single WAV file for music playback - all in working order, on the SQ6.
However, I cannot add other WAV music tracks for playback.
They do not register on the desk, after transferring WAV’s to the same USB stick - just my 1 original WAV track works.
Any ideas?
Without testing this myself, one idea is to try naming your additional files and folders the same way the SQ saves files you record directly from the desk.
Another idea is to check the sample rate of your other WAV files. Since the SQ processes audio in either 48kHz or 96kHz, maybe getting a WAV file in one of those sample rates would make a difference.
Just some ideas. I hope this helps!
I’m running into the same issue here. Setting up a new SQ5 V1.6.1. I converted (4) MP3’s to WAV format using an online converter and then loaded them on to a USB stick previously formatted on the SQ5. Only two of the four files appeared in the playback screen on the desk. I thought perhaps the file names might have been too long so I renamed them to about 8 or 10 characters. Still no joy.
Next I checked the sample rate on the WAV files which had defaulted to 44kHz. I found another MP3 converter that provided the ability to set the sample rate so I set it at 48kHz. No joy.
I tried a different USB stick. No joy.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joe
SQ-Drive unfortunately appears to be even more rudimentary than previously thought, if it can’t display, let alone play, 50% of the audio files created according to their specifications.
It would be really interesting to find out what the cause is.
You’ve surely read and followed the following advice from the Reference Guide:
They must not contain any headers (such as BWF) or data (such as markers).
If you can’t find the cause yourself, you could still link to such a file for download so that others could analyze it.
Or, actually the right way would be, you send it directly to A&H.
Check the wav file parameters and see if they may have the Read Only bit/flag set. I have experienced (and help from Max A&H Support) that if you have a Show folder that has the Read attribute set, the SQ will NOT see that Show. I do NOT know if that is what you are seeing, but something to check. BTW, To reset the Read parameter, you have to go into Powershell and use the attrib command.
