USB Flash Drive and "Browse" button on Editor screen

Post by tclayton10 » Sun Dec 06, 2009 1:35 am

I was having a problem with stuttering audio (found that fix, thanks!), but decided I'd try running my cues from a USB flash drive to see if that solved the problem as well. It did! However, when I am creating or editing cues from the Editor screen, once I click the Browse button and select a file from the Flash drive, the Browse button stops working from that point forward for any other Editor cues (including the one just created). The only way I've found to get around it is to close the program and start it again. At that point, I can again use the Browse button one time. If I select files from the hard drive, I don't have this problem.

Any ideas? We're using SCS version 10.3.0.

That's odd, Tracy. SCS doesn't check if a file is being loaded from a removable or a fixed drive, and I've just run a test here and have no problems in the Editor when I select audio files from a USB memory stick. btw, I generally do not recommend running cues from removable drives as they introduce a component that may or may not be available and connected when you start SCS.

Presumably this is not an issue for you anymore if you've solved the stuttering audio problem, but if you do still need to run audio files from your USB flash drive then let me know.

Thanks for the reply Mike. I am now running off of the internal hard drive, so I don't need the Flash access anymore, but I did test again Saturday night using a different Flash drive and found that it has the same issue. Maybe it's just something with this installation of Vista. Anyway, no worries.
