Recording Live Music Options

[groovesalad]

I am very new to macs and I'm trying to use my Powerbook G4 to record live music. I am buying the UA-5 ( http://www.edirol.com/products/info/ua5.html ) so that I can obtain 24/96 recordings. I taped my first show just the other day with only the internal soundcard and a digital soundboard feed with Peak 3.01. For some reason, after 75 minutes of recording, it recorded what sounded like a broken record. I patched off of someone elses DAT and he checked his recording and everything came out fine. So something was wrong on my end. I still haven't figured out how it recorded a skip.

Does anyone have any ideas for recording software that will do 24 kHz at 96 bit/sec rate and be VERY stable? Thanks again.

I heard that some audio editors have problems in going above the 60mn barrier... TC-Works for example has just updated its spark editor, and it can go beyond this time limit (they says). How is your "broken" recording? Empty? Sound and suddenly nothing?
Anyway, try some tests with another editor, i don't think your ua-5 is the culprit.

BTW, how does it sound? ;-)

Well, the music was recorded only using the internal soundcard. I've listened to a lot of music in my time, and by far it's a superior recording. No noise whatsoever in the recording, so I'm really excited to hear what the UA-5 will do. The "broken" sound was recorded just as though a CD was skipping. It sounded like I put in a CD to record from and it recorded a really bad skip. Sounds like a 1 sec of nonstop looping. It recorded that for over 20 minutes and I didn't even recognize it until I saw the WAVE file on the editor at home.
