pt dropping out of record

[alance]

Hi all. I've finally got my new imac g5 1.8. It''s been working well. I'm 10.3.5, 6.4cs9, 1.25 gig ram 250gig sata internal and fw400 external that's tried and true. I've been recording some cassettes for a friend. no problem. Then I get to one side and pro tools keeps dropping out of record about the same place(10 min in) each time. I still had 4 gigs left on the ext. drive. Open ended allocation. I switched over to the internal drive and that seems to have done it, but I'm still curious because I don't want it to happen during a critical session. While I got you, I have two other questions. On my laptop I have the mp3 option but have since lost the auth. code. Any ideas on how to retrieve it for the new computer? Anyone try 6.7 yet?

1. Check tro see if your firewire drive has the right chipset (oxford 'something')
2. Digidesign customer service will send you the code, call or email.
3. I doubt it. Maybe a few beta testers.

Also, open your 'transport' window and make sure you don't just have your recording counter set to record only 10 min. Sorry if this is a stupid suggestion, but it has fooled many, especially with the new built-in transport at the top of the pt window.

Hi,

You may also want to check under Setups>Preferences on the Operations tab to make sure that your open ended record allocation is not set to ten minutes. If it is you can change this value to something that makes sense for the type of work that you do.

Thanks,

Thanks Digi. Good to see you watching. Unfortunatly that was the first thing I looked at. It hasn't happened since.
