if recording to arrangment becareful of F10!!!

i use F12 lots and have hit that one by mistake when recording arangements

worse then the spacebar!!

but i prefer to record externaly... i have a 20 gig player that can record a 28 hour 48k wav file


if you run your soundcard into a mixer there should be somekind of record out on that to hook up that microtrack
dual 1.8 G4 10.4.9 w/768 ram & A&H xone 3D

keep in mind that NOT one track was on WARP, there were 150 songs in session view, mp3 320 kbps + analysis files.

Now as for attempting it at the club... I still use cds and vinyl at nightclubs, at go-go's & gentlemen's clubs, i bring the powerbook, with various DJ templates, including reggaeton, rock, hip hop, & a ton of house. and in these .als's, there are are about 5-10 tracks that are warped in order to transition between the tempos of each genre. When you have warped tracks and a lot of tracks, and not a lot of RAM, I would not recommend trying to record as well as perform. If I make it through 6 hours of playing with two sound "hiccups" that's the average. One of the two reasons, I don't do NYC gigs with my computer...
if you have 2GBs, i would say, press record and don't switch over to arrangment view in the middle of your set...



What the fuck are you chatting about? :lol: Doesn't seem like you have a fuckin clue 'dude' :lol: (as they say in the USA) :lol: or your set-up sux. :lol: Either way, your a player in the most basic form; you are just playin so simply that your belly cannot keep up :lol:

Stay at the 'Diner' and order the extra LARGE ....Cos you ain't going nowhere by the sounds of things :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't see the point of recording your liveset in arrangement: I'ts a liveset, so don't edit it afterwards!
I always create an audio channel wich resamples the master. It works perfectly, also for long sets.

I record my live DJ/VJ set to a DVD hard disk recorder, sending the video from the VGA splitter through a scan converter to the DVD recorder, and use an aux send from the mixer to send the audio to the recorder.

I've done 5 hours continuously, and it works great. I can then dump it straight to DVD-R for backup, and to pass it to FCP for editing.
