i'm trying to record a 90 minutes 8 channels soundfile (backing-up ADAT recordings)

but it seems that i can't exceed 2,15GB files , which means approximatively 50 minutes.

I'm surprised, i thought limits would be much higher.

I would really like to keep all this in a 1 file format.

Is there a tip for that ?

Maximum file size depends on the file system used on your computer (FAT32, HFS, APFS, etc.) and on the audio file format chosen (AIFF, BWF, W64, etc.).

itself, I don't know (I don't think W64 is possible).

Then there may be a limit introduced by sfrecord~ itself, I don't know (I don't think W64 is possible).

thank you Patrick,
i'll first start trying wav format.

You can also use a virtual audio device like Soundflower, and record it on a multitrack audio recorder (Logic, Reaper, Protools... )
