PROTOOLS REMOTE RIG CUTS OUT APPROX. 60 MINUTES

I run a Protools Le remote rig. I use a digi002 with a digimax and an octopre off of a PowerBook G4 with 2 gigs of RAM and a 1.67 processor using a lacie external drive. I've been recording 16 channels at 48khz and 24bits and lately have only been able to record around 60 minutes before it cuts out and gives me a DAE error, saying to much info to my drive or my computer cant keep up...some crap like that. When I first started recording on this rig (over a year ago)...I could record up to 16 Channels for as long as the time restraint (200 minutes - usually) was set in my preferences in protools. My lacie drive only has 66 GB left on it (its capacity is 232 GB)....Perhaps that could be one reason? - I have my Loging Items CLEAR - I am NOT in Low laterncy moniitor mode - I am NOT running any other programs (including bluetooth and wireless) - I am not doing any sort of bussing, mixing, or using any plug-ins while recording. I think those are all the steps I have taken to ensure smooth gigs.... THANKS SO MUCH, -JJ

Re: PROTOOLS REMOTE RIG CUTS OUT APPROX. 60 MINUTE 

Are you recording as aiff files? I recall hearing that there is a time limit to the length of them, perhaps one hour. Have you tried wav files to see if that makes a difference? Hope it helps.

There is a preference for this under options > preferences > playback (or something similar). 60mins is an option tab. Change to max disk space.
