Question

Hello All-

I am a newbie to digital recording and presonus. My SD Card performance speedtest is extremely slow and finishes with Incomplete. When I try to load a new session(first one), it thinks for 2 minutes and returns to the Load session screen. I'm too lost at this point to determine if it is a software thing, or user error. Grateful for any suggestions.  I'm using a brand new Studiolive series III 16ch.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Mike

My SIII 24 takes about 77 seconds to do a speed test.

I am using a factory approved Samsung 32 Pro card.

Thanks for your replies. I have ordered the exact cards recommended by presonus. I was using something close, but not exact. We'll see if this solves it. Thanks again!
