T2+Onyx FW 16/20 first recordings!
Okay, heres how it went:
I brought down the equipment to my regular club, and recorded one of the live jams we have there, which is mostly psychedelic chillout, and free jazz.
I set up my old Powerbook G4-867mhz w/1G ram, as just a recording unit, with the onyx mixer, and recorded onto an external lacie 160GB 7200rpm firewire400 disk, and tracktion 2.
Contra bass (mono) on ch1, Sitar (mono) on ch2, Ableton live drum loops on ch3 (stereo) and synth on ch4 (stereo), and CDdj on ch5 (stereo)
= two mono tracks, and three stereo tracks.
First of, I was not able to record in 24bit, all the tracks got errors. Ok, so we went with 16 bit. And it went fine. (xept I had to cycle back to the studio like a jurk to get a new firewire cable, as the one I brought did not work!
)After the recording, I brought it back to the studio and listened to it. The first session was about 1 hour, the second was about 30 minutes, bouth in the same project.
When I opened the project, tracktion said that: "Not enough space in your temp directory to cache files" And when I looked at the local disk, it had 24KB left, yikes!!! So I deletet about 1gig of the internal drive, and changed the cache drive to the external drive. (why does it jump back to internal drive?)
I deletet the internal drives tracktion cache folder, and got an aditional 3 gig of space.
Now the project plays fine, but I get about 15 seconds of harsh distortion (unable to hear the music), every 5 minute, over the whole take. And it sits on every track. It is not visible on the wave forms in T2 though. rendering a mix to one single stereo wave, gave the same result.
I cant find out what this is... sugestions?
