Hello. I’m a recording engineer and make live recordings using my SQ6, fitted with a Dante Card V2. The setup has been rock solid for 4 years. I’m currently on firmware 1.5.10. I use 2 Macs, both running Pro Tools. Occasionally, one Mac might crash so I always run the USB multitrack off the USB slot on the top as a second backup. That is also patchy depending on the drive*. I’ve read that USB multitrack performance may be improved with the latest firmware but I don’t want to upset my current reliable setup - Are there any issues I should be aware of before updating the firmware? Thanks in advance.
- FYI the most reliable USB drive I’ve found is a Crucial X8 (1TB) but sadly it’s not available any more. I’ve tried a Samsung SSD T7 but it corrupted quite regularly. Old spinning drives (Western Digital) were always good but terribly slow to copy back to a computer in the event you needed to access the multitrack recording.
