Media Recommendations
CompactFlash Cards
We recommend SanDisk and Transcend cards. Don’t use cards with “double write speed” features. Any modern
card, 16 GB to 32 GB card (such as the 133x), should be fine. Do not use cards from questionable manufacturers
as they will wear out quickly due to the lack of a good wear leveling algorithm.
If you are planning to record at 96 kHz, choose a card that claims 10 MB per second SUSTAINED write speed
(MAX write speed does NOT count).
Once you have the cards in hand, considering testing their ability to keep up with the recording process:
For Sampling-rates lower than 96 kHz – record all tracks for 10 minutes with pre-record set to 10 seconds (not
available at 88 kHz and 96 kHz) at a higher sampling-rate than you expect to use, with all the effects you intend to
use, enabled.
For Sampling-rate equal to 96 kHz – record 1 more track than you expect to use for 10, with all the effects you
intend to use, enabled.
