I have a LONG piece of music to record live this weekend (Mahler's 2nd Symphony -all 5 movements, no intermission) and I need twelve tracks to go into record and reliably STAY in record.
I'm very nervous about recording to the internal drive for this one (which is what I usually do, but for only about an hour or so at a time).
If so, -using a Mac- what is the best format for a new drive.
I plan on testing by recording about 4 hours of 12-16 tracks a few times, before I commit to this 'no-second-chance' approach...

On numerous occasions I have had to take off the top and push them down to reestablish the connection. Now the little princess lives with only 2 screws in the top. I don't consider LE very stable, in general.

An engineer I work with learnt that the hard way with his 002 live rig an hour into a two hour gig when a power outage caused the system to hiccup. No files to show at all when the system restarted!! He now has a 24 track tascam unit.
