Recorded the show to USB stick.

Someone suggested that your problem is related to your laptop's handling
of the transition. If you can get your laptop to NOT chop the recording
into segments, then using ExFAT format may eliminate the problem.

He used a professional audio mixer with save to usb option and he used
it for the sensible "no operator overhead because the operator is doing
live sound" method of just logging the entire evening. Considering how
fast it is to clip unwanted parts out of a file afterwards that is the
proper way to do it.

As for that it should have been tested by the manufacturer, yes, then
there had not been an issue. Also the manufacturer could have used the
proper version of the .wav format. And they could have put linux in the
desk so that it could have written a file system that allowed the use of
broadcast wave files.

As for the operator who found out: this is a reminder to all of us to
verify via a full scale test whenever it is important. Sometimes doing
that highlights something that should have worked, but does not in the
real world. This obvious is one of those times.

Has the OP gotten any comments from the manufacturer on the complaint
letter assumed sent? - even just getting to the proper audio fileformat
version that allows 4 gigabyte files would help and that could be a
simple field patch of the desk. (always do such patching with the desk
on a UPS! and with ample time before next show, don't just do it in the
intermission at far fields festival on the end of a 2 mile 2 X 0.75
square millimeter extension cable!)
