Recording problem HELP!

[stellardog]

I need to make a highlight reel for a job but cannot because of trouble recording into Pro Tools Free.
Here's the deal. G4 with 128 megs of ram. Every time I try to record something, Pro Tools creates an audio file, (18.7 mb) that takes all of the existing memory. This means I cannot record. Any ideas? [email protected]

I have not yet learned how to record with PTF but I have found it very easy to use Coaster for recording and PTF to process the recording. Here's where to get Coaster for FREE:

Stellardog:

I remember someone here recently had the same problem. I believe the solution was to give PTF a set amount of HD space to work with. I haven't experienced this problem, however.

John:

There is a thread here about USB audio devices and an updated Apple Audio Ext. There was a link to the new ext. Don't know if it's still up though.

The searchable PT Reference Guide is in the Help menu in Pro Tools if you installed the documentation, and stored in the Digidesign/Pro Tools/Release Notes & Documentation folder on your hard drive. (available from the Technical Document Library link below if you didn't download it originally)
