Hi,

I am attempting to record 2 tracks live with DP4 on a 12" G4 powerbook and am getting a "disk too slow" error. I own a MOTU 828 mkII, but prefer to keep it in the studio and record with the built in audio for live purposes. I use a Rode NT4 stereo condenser mic with built in power and plug directly into the mac. I have adjusted the buffer settings to 1024 and still it gives me the error after recording for awhile. I have a total of 768 megs of RAM and feel this should suffice for 2 track live recording. I play in a jam band and hope to record continually for up to 3 hours, stopping from time to time to save of course. Do i need an external firewire drive? If so, do i install DP4 on it or keep it on the internal drive. Any help would greatly be apprectiated!

Thanks for reply robomark29!

Unfortunately, I am new to mac and DP and do not have older versions of either the OS or software. A friend of mine agrees with you, and will only operate his studio in OS9. This is another situation, in which I find myself saying, "wish I would have known this before I plopped down big bucks on a new mac!"

Seems like my only option is to get an external firewire drive. I know glyph drives are the bomb, have you heard about seagate drives. How do they compare? Also, where do I install DP4? On the internal or external drive? THanks agian for reply!
