Response to: RECORD TIME GLITCH

Hi, I am a live sound engineer and have used the H4 for a year to record rock bands live. (try hanging the H4 from something to counteract the body noise)I discovered the same thing you did with the format, it needs to be done each time the card is full. Also you lose any settings you would intuitively think would stay with the machine, and have to be reentered and I use the auto limiting which seems to work well if you are careful when setting it.


I have been having serious problems with memory cards. Severe drop out rendering entire nights recordings useless. The typical H4 recordings have been coming out good enough for some of the bands to consider releasing a live recording CD. Some SD cards will be ok for awhile then suddenly fail, some fail from the beginning, and some partially fail, then completely fail. Zoom has my recorder right now and is checking it out. Does anyone know if the Ultra or Extreme chips are working any better?
