Could Not Allocate - I\'ve read the others...still need help
I read all of the posts about this error "Could not allocate space for recording". I get this when I try to record from ProTools LE to a brand new LaCie 7200, 60gig Firewire drive via a G4 PowerBook. I have formatted the drive as both HFS and HFS+. Same error. I have also reduced the Max Recording preference from Open Ended to just 10 minutes.
Are there any other suggestions. I records fine onto the G4 harddrive. I can playback files from the LaCie drive, just can't record. Tim. |

hiaaa,
go to your pref. and make sure your max recording time is set to something like 30min.. it's really strange but when i get this message i just sorta play around with the time and it always works.... www.spineproductions.net |

I did this (see above).
There is still something wrong. Or are you just saying keep trying different times? I have it set to 10 minutes right now? Anyone else using a LaCie FireWire drive? Any reason to believe it may not work? Thanks. |

Re: Could Not Allocate - I\'ve read the others...still need help
What format utility did you use on the FireWire drive? For best results, format FireWire drives using the Mac OS:
1-Backup all important data that is on your FireWire drive 2-Highlight the FireWire drive on the Desktop and choose Special>Erase Disk. Choose Mac OS Extended formatting and click OK. 3-Once the drive is formatted, disable/remove all third party FireWire extensions and restart the computer. (LaCie FireWire extensions are known to interfere with Pro Tools performance) Brent |

Re: Could Not Allocate - I\'ve read the others...still need help
I have the same problem now out of the blue, just popped up. I use an EZ quest Cobra firewire 120GB drive w/ Oxford chip. Sometimes I get an error -6063 or something like that.
Tonight is the first time for this "could not aallocate" window. I have formatted using the erase disc under the special menu which was the only right way to format. My lord can anyone help or is this thing crap and I need to dump cash into a Digidrive? |
