I don't think there is a max number of tracks, I've had my Bluebox since a few months after it was released and I've recorded using all 12 inputs across 8 tracks (4 stereo tracks and 4 mono tracks) plus the Master at various times since the earlier firmware...

This didn't seem right so I checked and verified this weekend.

The Bluebox does track the length of a recording and does know when the transport is stopped and when the recording started.

In the...

What firmware version number are you using when this happens?...

[sirshannon]

FWIW, I think this is/was fixed in Bluebox 1.2.14, which is a beta version but doesn't have any more bugs than any release version you've used, as far as I can tell. I've been using it since November and haven't had more issues than normal (so yes, plenty...

I'm not sure how this is the reply to what seems like a rather cooperative post?

Nice find! I'm going to try this tonight.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people have this problem and have for a while. It's the reason I don't have a recording of the live show I played in October (Hapax, Blackbox, Bluebox, a couple other synths, and...

i thought this was a known issue?

On behalf of yourself.

I can't say any of those will work w/o measurements. You can look at the 3.5 end on those compared to this one from Teenage Engineering (which I know works) and you'll see how much thinner the TE plug is....

I would suggest 6.5mm male stereo to 3.5mm male stereo for those instruments. It is much easier and cleaner that way. Or the next best thing: 6.5mm female TRS to 3.5mm male TRS, which is still 2 cables and not ideal.

6 splitters gets messy...

Sorry, I missed that part.
I have to say that what you're looking for has been the hardest thing for me to find in a format that is good (over half of mine have ended up with shorts or otherwise stop working/break within a year or travel and regular...

Thank you!

There are changes to multisampling in various versions of the firmware (and different bugs in various versions) so knowing the firmware version you're on is the best first step.

You may want to check this thread (it is more related than...

I'm pretty sure it is supposed to work the way you expect. If "nothing happens" means it didn't attempt to install the update, I think you're doing something wrong in the install process.

I wish I had only spent £100 on cables or that I was finished buying cables. No matter how many I have, every new setup finds me missing 1 or 2 cables or resorting to different adapters and dongles. It's the nature of hardware and not at all exclusive...

I'm sure someone will suggest that you should have searched and found the existing threads about this (it's a good suggestion) but the quickest and easiest answer is probably to get them from 101Music. https://1010music.com/product/35mm-m2m-635mm-br...

it's funny, when I hear "usb ground loop isolator", I think of something like the product you link to lukeaxiom

Arturia includes a "Anti-ground loop adapter" in the box with their Keystep 37 and it is what I've seen...

Note: Removing my reply, my original comment above was right. The issues were related, the Bluebox does track the length of recordings, and when you start/stop the transport when recording.
