Since the last time I posted, I noticed one or two instances where the unit froze even after the steps I refer to above. I still can't track it down exactly, but where it was freezing once every other show in a 3-show week, it's now doing it about twice a month.
I will stand by the statement that if you start recording, with a cable plugged in to the line in but no signal being fed, and then start feeding signal once it's rolling, it gets the entire thing more often than not.
Note: I'm using for 160kbps MP3 recording, not direct to WAV. Maybe it has something to do with the encoding process? In any case, it's pretty transparent: no hums, no artifacts that I can detect once I get back in the studio. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it for our intended use, but expect that you might not get all the material you wanted sometimes.

An update, since it's been about 4 months...
Upgraded firmware to 2.28, pulled all files off (thankfully an easy task) and re-formatted.
Here's the kicker: if I set up at the club early, and get it recording and pause at 0:00 in, and THEN un-pause when we start the show, it works great. No freezes.
If I start it and immediately start recording, or if I start recording with any type of signal going in (i.e. something playing already), it tends to lock.
This is the closest I can get to isolation of the problem. Wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this...

Apologies if we've already covered this and I've missed it, but I've done exhaustive searches and can't find a solution.
I'm using my Neuros 2 at nightclubs to record our DJs' live-to-air mixshows for dissection/station mixshow backup/etc etc blah blah.
I'm running the line out from my mixer (-10dBV) into the 1/4" Line In jack using a 1/4" to RCA Y-cable. I'm using it off the AC power adapter, so battery life isn't an issue. I'm also running the most recent official firmware, and I'm ensuring that the gain control is set to allow a max peak of -6dBFS with program material playing at full volume.
Every once in a while, the Neuros will just freeze while recording. It will do this at random times (57:13 in, 2:41:48 in, 3:04:21 in, etc), so it's not stopping at the same point every time.
I'm thinking it's one of two things:
1. The vibration from the bass in the clubs messing with the disk write. It doesn't seem like the vibration situation is extreme (i.e. our non-buffered CD players don't skip in the same case), but I suppose we could make a case for that. It's an intermittent problem, though, and it would seem that if it was a vibration problem, it would happen every night.
2. Maybe the line-in plug coming loose during recording? I can't verify this myself, but it might be a thought...
Just thought I'd ask...
