sir00 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hello, I am a dj that wants to record my sets, but logic for some reason stops recording after a certain length of time(ie 45 min or 53 min).......Is there a way to change it so that i can record for at least 80 minutes? Also this started happening after I upgraded to 8.01.....It was working fine before. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicoSatis Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Have you tried going to your preferences and changing your file recording type to CAF. I know you can record at least 80 minutes with that. Unfortunately I have never used this so I'm not sure if there are any drawbacks to this format. I'm almost positive there isn't but just check it out first. Hope this helps Have a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantomimeHorse Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 You could be hitting the song-length limit, or you could be running out of drive space. - It's most likely the former, as I assume you get no error messages relating to remaining drive capacity. - You can change the "length" of the song in Logic (in LP7.2, it's on the transport window). If you're just recording audio, the "tempo" Logic uses is irrelevant so you can just get longer songs by racking the tempo way down to min. - If you're assembling a set, to use as a demo to venues, using other features of Logic which are tempo-dependent, obviously that won't work, but just collecting and cross-fading audio files will work. - C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxedwards Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 i think they started using caf because there was a 2gb limit on other file types. also lowering the song tempo will give you more time as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midiatim Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 If you set your end bar at 1000, DROP THE TEMPO to 20, then hit the bounce button and set the limits for bar 1 to 1000 ... you'll see that at 200 minutes (3h 20m) (of 44/16) you hit the 2GB limit for AIFF. It complains if you try to bounce anything bigger. After that I found 2 choices, drop the sample rate or bounce to CAF. When I moved the end bar out to 2000 and raised the bounce limit, it complained at 44/16 when I asked for AIFF, but started doing the bounce for CAF. (I haven't actually recorded for 200 minutes ... or tried bouncing past it to CAF ... but not hard to try: just put a little audio at each end and bounce.) If 200 minutes isn't enough, it might be a better idea to take a bathroom break and start a new file for part 2!! 2GB is a *lot* of audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
