Default Using a SD Card

When using a digital recorder (DP-24, in my case), can Reaper be used to mix when taking the SD memory card from the digital recorder, inserting it into the card-reader on the PC and then use the PC to mix?

Writing or reading sequentially to/from SD cards is the highest performance you'll see. As soon as you do random reads/writes, between the specific SD card's performance and the SD port interface's limitations, performance can drop to that of a 4200rpm spinning drive or worse.

Try it. If it works... then we're done here. If not, don't be surprised. It's quick to just copy the files to your SSD workspace and simply have max performance no matter how high the resolution of the audio and no matter how much editing and/or seeking you're doing. Probably simplest to just do that to ensure getting the performance you set up your computer to have.

Use the SD cards and USB connected drives for convenience but don't expect max performance or spend time chasing that.

In full agreement with Serr here.

My challenges are even more basic -- Just downloaded Reaper --- I inserted my SD Card from the DP-24 into the PC card reader --- Now I can't figure out how to import the tracks into the Reaper app ---

OK - 'Inserted' a copy of tracks from the SD card, but individual tracks were not evident --- I am out of my depth here ----

See pages 80 and 83 of this doc:

There is a pretty good chance copying directly from the DM24 mass storage won't work; it's probably in some proprietary format. (Not sure.)
