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

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

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