I've looked through the forums to see if anyone else has had this issue, but I seem to be the only one (or I'm not good at searching the forums).
I'm using the Bluebox as a multitrack recorder, recording different inputs from my modular synth, sending a mono out to a stereo reverb and recording that a stereo track, as well as recording the master mix. The most I've tried to record at once was probably six mono tracks, one stereo track, and the master mix. The problem is that when I go to play back a recording, some of the tracks do not play back, even though the audio from those tracks is in the master mix. When I go into the "Edit" screen, the tracks that will not play back do not appear to have files associated with them. At first this made me think that nothing had been recorded to those tracks at all. However, when move the microSD card to my computer and look at the project directory, there are files for each take on each track, including the ones that don't appear on the Bluebox. What makes this particularly bizarre is that the files that the Bluebox recorded but now cannot see are big files, similar in size to files that do play back. Something got written to memory, just not playable files.
When I import the WAV files into Reaper, the problematic files do not play back and no waveforms appear, though the media items are the correct length. Same thing in Audacity. It makes me think Bluebox is recording corrupted files. Is it possible the Bluebox is writing the audio into the file, but not some header info that makes the file playable? Is there an upper limit to the number of tracks Bluebox can handle at a time?
Note that none of the inputs are clipping or anything that might cause the audio to not record.
Here's my current setup:
Bluebox firmware 1.2.7
SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB microSD card
2018 Mac Mini running MacOS 12.6.3
Reaper v6.72
Audacity 3.2.4
If this is a known issue and there is information in another thread about it, please point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help or ideas.
