Apparently I have a problem.
Today, I was recording live music for my church with my iBook. I'm using the M-Audio Transit USB to record and everything was recording fine. Then, at 1 hour 11 minutes into the recording, Garageband stopped recording and when I went to play the recorded stuff, it was all gone. The track cursor was also red, so maybe that meant something. The track onto which I was recording was a basic track, with no effects. When I exported the file to iTunes, it was a 760mb AIFF and had no music whatsoever. But, while recording, there were waves and spikes on the track to represent the sound, and whenit stopped all that disappeared. Beforehand I recorded a short 1 minute test and that played back ok. So I think the problem is GarageBand's inability to record for a long time, which sucks. If that's the case, can someone point me to some (cheap) software that can record for ~2 hours continuously?
specs:
12" iBook g4 1.2
1.25gb RAM
30gb hdd (15 free)
Power cable plugged in
Transit USB plugged in
thnx

I had the same problem once. Solutions:
- set GarageBand to 60 bpm -> 2 x 760 MB AIFF is then possible (760 at 120 bpm)
- Logic Express 7 ist cheap with EDU license
- Audacity is freeware
