WAV's have finite size limits, I am used to dealing with more than 1
sequential 4Gb WAV's recorded on my laptop, and stitching them together in
post with no lost data.

The Midas M32R I used this weekend produced multiple 2Gb WAV's to USB
stick,
but lost data in the transitions.
Maybe half a second or so each transistion, dunno yet.


Clearly this is not fit for purpose, you can't get that data back.

What is the firmware version of your mixer. The version currently
available for download on the website is 3.08. It may be worth making
sure you have the latest version, or if you do, have a chat with the
maker's tech support.

Maybe I'm missing something, but neither the user manual or the service
manual mention being able to record direct to a USB stick? As I read
them, they assume that the mixer will be networked to a computer.

A 2 GB file size may be a relic of a FAT16 formatted output, and taking
half a second to finalise a file is a sign that the computer is too busy
to do what it's designed to do. It may be stored internally as FAT16,
and then written to a FAT32 or ExFAT USB stick.
