so i was taping robert randolph the other night going 24/48 into my powerbook. rig is akg ck63 > active cables > jk labs dvc > (line in) mini-me (usb out) > 12" powerbook running the latest version of os x and spark me 2.7. anyway, i went to check how much battery life was left on the powerbook, and when i clicked on the battery spark me stopped recording. said it dropped a sample, and then there was an unknown file error and quit recording. i was able to just hit record again to get the thing restarted, but there is about a 20 second dropout. any idea why this would happen? i thought the mac was supposed to be more stable than my pc.
on a good note... i had my dat running backup, so i do have a complete tape of the show. will probably try to splice in the parts that were missing and get a dvd out. too bad headliners old sound guy is on tour with my morning jacket... no more board feeds for me.
thanks for any help!
