5. SD Card Operation
The X-LIVE card features a pair of SD/SDHC slots that provide 32 channels of multitrack recording and playback. Simple session
management and up to 100 markers allow playback from any desired point, easily cueing up certain songs or backing tracks.
Automatic or manual switching from recording to playback routing presets makes it easy to monitor input channels directly while
recording, and then listen to the playback from the card returns. The SD cards operate independently from the USB connection,
giving you many options for how you incorporate outboard plugins, multichannel input and live recording.
5.1 Overview
Most of the configuration and operation for the SD card slots and USB connection are handled on the Setup/Card page of the console.
From this page, the SD slot or USB can be selected for playback, SD slot 1 or 2 can be selected for recording or marker editing, and the
channel count can be specified for recording.
A properly installed and formatted card will appear near the top with a green square, with its file size and remaining
recording time indicated. SD cards up to 2 GB and SDHC cards up to 32 GB are officially supported, for use with FAT32 formatting.
It is best practice before important recordings to press the console's Utility button and format the card. Formatting will delete all data to
remove fragmentation and to ensure proper write performance.
A list of recorded sessions and markers for the currently-selected session are listed below the recorder graphics. Transport functions are
controlled with the first 3 encoders. Markers can be added to a session during recording or playback to indicate the start of a song or set.
Press the page down to the 2nd layer of controls to make changes to the configuration.
The 'Channel Routing' section is explained in chapter 5.3.
The SD operation can also be controlled by any of the remote apps, as well as MIDI and the onboard assignable controls.
In the X32-Edit software, most of the configuration settings are made on the Setup/Card page, while the recording functions and marker
management are done in the Recorder window.
5.2 Recording and File Management
Audio recording on the X-LIVE card can accommodate either 8, 16, or 32-channel sessions of 44.1/48 kHz / 32-bit PCM WAV files. As soon as
recording is initiated to one of the SD cards, a new session is automatically created, allowing the entire take to be organized cohesively. To
ensure continuous recording of the entire performance, a recording session that has started on one card can seamlessly span over to the
other card slot when the first becomes full. In this case, the same session name will appear on both cards.
Since a single session may include a full set of songs, markers can be placed during recording or while listening to playback. They can
also be adjusted using the remote apps by using the 'Edit Marker' section. This makes it easy to organize the set and quickly jump to a
particular section of the recording for playback.
