You do not need the faster cards the reg sandisc works perfect.
I found this to help fully charge before using.(beware that it will charge every time you plug in the usb) try to use it till it gets really low
after charged insert card but format it from your pc(told to me by e-mu) because I had some trouble when i formatted the 4 gig card.now that i reformatted using my pc no trouble.
Now for more stuff if you use it at 24/96 you will almost get 2 hours of time on 4 gig,But you or the unit have to stop the file at 2 gigs and start another file
Updated firmware starts a new file but you miss about 3 sec of audio while it starts the new file.
If you do 24/48 you get almost 4 hours but again at 2 gis you have to start another file 1 hour 54 min each file.
battey life if you shut off the backlite and do not use the menu too much is over 6 hours .But my sales person told me they already have had 3 out of 10 come back with dead batteries ,then you have to send it back to e-mu . no response to how much it would cost
