What Mac editor can handle > 2 gig files?
« on: September 09, 2004, 03:31:36 AM »
Sucessfullly pulled off my first 24/96 recording with the FR-2 last weekend. Used a pcmcia -> usb reader to copy the file onto my ibook. Now I need a way to track it.

Anyone got a working solution? Or do I need to somehow break the file up using a utility, then track smaller chunks?

Thanks

Spark XL handles them just nicely.  I believe Digital Performer will as well.

He's right, I only learned that from DP3 in a concert situation. I was smart enough to test DP4 at home and got the same result. DP3 and DP4 both have the 2-GB limit because they don't use w64 or SDII extended as the file type.

Spark is a far better program for transferring/editing than DP, anyway.
Out of the game … for now?

Once again, Spark XL is the answer, thanks so much for the help.

Just found that B & H has one last copy in stock. Mine!!!

Can't wait to remove Peak from my life...

Anyone know what type of exorcism will be most effective?

Many thanks, Chris

I wouldn't buy a copy.  It's unsupported by TCWorks, kinda pointless.

PM me and I can get something sent to ya. ;)
