Hi Scott,
Good to hear from you, it's been a while. We were just having a discussion a few weeks ago about how good your mixes always sound, miss working with you. How's the API holding up?

Yes, we're recording straight to firewire drives because the internal is too small. The latest release notes for the x-48 state a couple of conditions where you should format with QuickFormat off, meaning it takes a REALLY long time. Those conditions are
1-if you've recorded 3-5 projects on the drive and have then erased them
2-if you're doing a long record pass.
Now, maybe I'm being obtuse, but it's using embedded XP, a very well-known OS with a well-defined disk system. Once you've formatted the drive with QuickFormat off for the first time, you should be able to use QuickFormat repeatedly until you want to check errors on the drive. 48 track record under XP is trivial these days.

I don't like being repeatedly negative about this box because I want it to work; it just has to improve first. We'll keep trying.
