Default PT 5.1 - Recording very lengthy narrative project.. ran out of recording disk space?
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to transfer 3 cassettes (yes... that pre-historic format) into Pro Tools. Each cassette is 90 mins. It's all narrative stuff. At some point, I always get this prompter saying "could not allocate space for recording", and it stops recording. Meanwhile, my Preferences-Operation-Open ended record allocation.. is set to "use available disk space". I originally thought my cheetah 9 gig drive might have been full, so I copied the whole folder over to my firewire drive (100 gigs of space), and it still is giving me that prompter.

Any ideas? Is there a limitation to how much audio can be recording per session? Is there a special mode for such types of projects?

Thanks
