Some examples we’ve heard of:
• Seagate
• SanDisk
• LaCie
• Adata
• WD (Western Digital)
Even if the USB drive has already been formatted via a different source, we highly suggest formatting
via the DLZ Creator. In fact, never mind the “highly suggest.” DO IT!
Just follow the steps listed below:
This probably goes without saying, but we’re going to say it, anyway. In order for the USB drive to be formatted
via the DLZ Creator, the USB drive needs to be connected to the DLZ Creator’s USB-A slot. You have been using
USB-A slots for years now. It only fits one way. Due to Murphy’s Law, you will, of course, try one way and it
won’t work. You will flip it around and find out that that way does not work, either. And, of course, flipping back
to the original way WILL work this time. Those darned USB-A slots!
Granted, you might have a difficult time trying to format the USB drive if that first condition isn’t yet met. For one, it doesn’t
easily fit in any other way – which you have already found out – and for another, DLZ Creator will remain with the “USB drive
not present” statement as seen four pages back.
Now that the USB drive is inserted properly and DLZ Creator is fired up, it’s time to format the USB drive.
Head to Settings > Bluetooth / Disk (on pages 71-73) for more information.
We’re still looking at the DLZ Creator hardware and that part is software related!
SD Recording and Playback
Last – but certainly not least! – is the microSD slot, nestled in-between the power connector and USB-A jack.
Not only is the DLZ Creator a great mixer with some pretty amazing features, but here you can also record
podcasts, interviews, in-studio gigs and more to a microSD card!
Formatting
– We know you’re an eager beaver, all psyched to start recording, but let’s take care of something very important
first: formatting the microSD Card. First, get a microSD Card; this could be a brand new one or one you’ve had for awhile
so long as it’s Class 10 or better.
microSD Cards need to be Class 10 or better to ensure reliable operation. If using an older microSD Card, it’s a high
possibility that some samples will be dropped because the card is too slow. We are not in the business of suggesting
what microSD Card to go with, but choosing one with an instantly recognizable, quality, trustworthy name doesn’t
hurt.
Some examples we’ve heard of:
• SanDisk
• PNY
• Lexar
• Samsung
• Kingston
Even if the microSD Card has already been formatted via a different source, we highly suggest formatting
via the DLZ Creator. In fact, never mind the “highly suggest.” DO IT!
