**Help with mixxx (again…)** hello helpful people! I was recording a mix in mixxx, but it did not record properly. i ended up with 2000 something mini recordings. anyone know how to fix this? the saving feature will split at 4 GB. is there any way to make it one mega-file? i can do that with VDJ LE, but i need mixxx for my stuff. any hope? ---

u ended up with 2000 recordings of 4gb each? 4gb sounds like a safe file size to split the recordings on? ---

No man! HEHE…he has the file split set to happen when it reaches 4GB. So he was expecting 1 file for his recording, as it was under 4GB I am guessing. But, he had 2000 individual files created. Tiny in size I am guessing too. ---

ah yep - that does sounds much more plausible 😃 i’ll try a recording using mixxx later and see what happens. to the OP what version of mixxx are you using and what o/s? ---

Hi zeddee, Mixxx developer here. What you’re seeing is this bug: Bug #954861. I recently fixed this and the fix will be in 1.10.1 and 1.11.0 when they’re released. As a workaround, I suggest using 2GB splits until you can upgrade to the newest version. FYI you’ll have a lot better response coming to the Mixxx forums directly or to our IRC channel to ask questions. 🙂 Hope that helps, RJ Ryan ---
