Topic: Fireface UFX+ and long hours of recording with 64 channels.
Bought a Fireface UFX+ and like the swiss army knife like approach.
I sometimes do very long recordings on location (12 hours or more festivals, recording multiple area's at the same time) with 64 MADI channels active.
I like the idea to be able to make a backup recording on hardware only. So that's one of the reasons why i bought the Fireface UFX+
So I made a test recording with DURECorder. After 6 hours and 12 minutes it stopped. !???
On the harddrive there were 100 files recorded.
UFX01_00 ....UFX01_99.wav Is this the maximum that can be recorded? 100 wav files? The drive was only for 200GB full. (Still had 800GB left).
Also. How long should it normally take to convert the multichannel wav to single wav files with the RME Multichannel WAV File Batch Processor software? In my case it took all night! (Maybe it took 6 hours... not sure... i was a sleep.) I used a core I7 (@3GHZ) laptop with 2 USB harddrives connected. One was USB2 . The other one USB3
