BR: XT2 multi-track recording to external drives

[hudson_m4000]

Hi Jorgen

Repeatable crash when recording to an external USB2 disk. The disk is a 7200rpm Western Digital and works well with both Cubase and Pro Tools for multi-tracking.

Recording to C: is fine in XT2, it's just external drives - I have tried 3 on 2 new Core Duo PC's (WinXP)

Visible symptoms are very slow drawing of wavform graphics followed by a crash with a 'cannot read memory' message

Hi

I have the latest beta. Here's a flash video (screen record) so you can see the bug in action:

EDIT: I have put the files at xt-user.com as it was easy to do! Probably not the right place, but it seems to work!

I have now tried this with some FAST (7200rpm) Lacie disks using Firewire instead of USB2 but the same crash occurs.

Multitrack recording to internal drives seems to be OK but external drives just bomb out.
