    We are using a laptop (a MacBook Pro) running Windows XP, with 2 GB of RAM. The Processor is a Intel Core2Duo T8300 @ 2.40GHz.
    The disk drive is about 160GB with 120GB free space at the moment.

    I apologize for this late reply. I was deep into some code changes that I wanted to finish first.

    Today I tested recording multi-channel files for longer periods. I managed to record a 32-channel 32-bit sound for over an hour. The saved .wav file was at +20GB. I noticed that the Podium CPU usage increased as the recording progressed. When I had passed one hour recording the UI had become very sluggish. That may be the same symptoms you experienced after 15 minutes. It will depend on the system specs of the machine.

    How much memory do you have installed?

    I’m going to work on improving the performance of long recordings in one of the next releases. Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.

    Thanks for looking at the issue.

    It would also be good if the data was somehow recoverable – after a crash. I imagine the data is being written to some temporary file space? Currently all data is lost after a crash. You can probably understand the frustration of recording a one-off concert and losing it entirely due to a crash after an hour of recording.

    Hi,

    Which Podium version?

    32 channels into one .wav file?

    What bit-resolution is the .wav file set to?

    Are there any other soundfiles playing/recording simultaneously?

    What does the Podium CPU indicator Mix/File percentages read before the problem starts occurring?

    How do you detect the problem, i.e. is it the Podium CPU File indicator that starts blinking red?

    Is the buffer overflow only a problem with the monitoring, or is it also detectable in the recorded .wav file?

    Podium version: 2.09

    We do eventually save to a single .wav file – yes

    16 bits/sample

    No other simultaneous recordings/playback

    Podium CPU file indicator starts blinking red, graphics (cursor) stalls.

    So far, we have not detected any artifacts in the actual recordings.
