HELP with retrieving live recordings from a Mackie 1608/iPad

Turn Em Loose

It’s the bass player.

Here's the 411 (as the kids would say). I've recorded with a 1608 before and have had no issues with the recording or the retrieval of the files and downloading them on my laptop.

I have recorded multiple live sets the past two weekends on my iPad while it is docked into the 1608 console. I hit record, the record button stays red, I hit record again at the end of a set and name my recording. Repeat. No problems or pop up warnings. No background apps open. Plenty of space for more files/recordings. All apps updated.

The problem is I am unable to locate the recordings. I hook up the iPad with my laptop and go to Apps/File Sharing/Master Fader, but there are no files listed in the Master Fader Documents window.

I do think there are recordings somewhere in the Master Fader app as my backup size for the Master Fader app (for the next backup to my iCloud) is 2.6 GB. That backup size seems pretty big and I'm ASSuming that the files I'm looking for are somewhere in the Master Fader app.

Mackie has been no help. And I'm not technically....Uh...Inclined, to say the least.

I have followed the instructions in the manual to the letter many, many times.

Anybody have this problem? What the heck am I doing wrong? It's driving me crazy!!

EDIT: One thing to add is I've recently subscribed to Apple's iCloud. Could this somehow be the culprit?
