HD24 - Duplicate tracks when transferring to MAC via FST C..

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Anybody had problems when transferring tracks from HD24 to MAC using
Alesis FST Connect?

Specifically, if I don't transfer ALL 24 tracks at once, I get
duplicate tracks.

I was transferring 4 tracks at a time . . . each time I selected the
next 4 tracks - first time, tracks 1 thru 4 . . . next time, tracks 5
thru 8, etc.

When I listened to them in Pro Tools, I got the first 4 tracks over and
over, even though the tracks were named 1 thru 24. However, when I
transferred ALL 24 tracks at once, it worked fine.

You're probably saying, "Well . . . just transfer ALL 24 tracks at once
then and no problem." This is true, but I wanted whoever to know that
there may be a bug in the Alesis FST Connect software.
Any thoughts or experience on this?

I can tell you that it doesn't happen with FST Connect on Win2K. I
transferred 24 tracks, in two groups of 12. No error.

Why did I transfer in two groups of 12? Because FST erroneously told
me that I didn't have enough space on the drive to transfer 24 tracks
in one group. That's the only bug I have noticed in the Windows
version.
