Question:

What are the USB stick requirements to record direct with the Ui24R?

Answer:

The Soundcraft Ui24R is capable of reading USB memory sticks formatted in FAT32 only, which limits the maximum storage capacity on a USB stick to 32GB. Therefore, all USB memory sticks must be 32GB or less in size. The Ui24R will not read any stick larger than this.

For optimal recording performance, the read/write speed of the USB memory stick must be 25mb/s or higher. Most USB memory sticks tout high read speeds but don't mention write speeds because they are actually slow at writing. This will result in either failed recording, or stuttering and audible artifacts on the recording.
