What is the file name you are attempting to write to? Never reach this steps, getting the error way before the end of the recording. What is the full error message after "/User/"? This is the full path where the application is creating the temp files. Do you get this error message immediately when ...

I'm recording music (stereo, 32 floating bits 44100 Hz) and saving it as a project, then saving the recorded song using the "Saving as" feature...
