Let’s hope v2 fixes this..

Update: I worked out that if you hold down the power button long enough, the unit DOES switch off. The unit since died completely for about 10 days (wouldn’t complete its start-up). I was getting ready to bin it - but then it came back to life, allowed me to update the firmware and since then has performed pretty well. There have occasionally be lock-ups, but these have been cured by the forced power-off (above).

Fi-nall-lee it happened to me. mAudio microtrack freezes writing file after 1 hour recording. Backlight stays on. No button to reset / power off. No access to battery to crash the thing.

Result? The unit stays like that, getting hotter and hotter for another hour and a half until the battery dies.

On the down-side, that’s your recording schedule down the drain. The upside? 1) It actually saved the file 2) I didn’t actually need to use it 3) Hopefully, the new microtrack (due in November according to mAudio’s David Atkinson) will fix the problem.
