RECORDING CUTS OFF AFTER 5 SECONDS

[kiw1217]

I’m using macOS Catalina 10.15.7 and Audacity 2.4.2

My recording cuts off at exactly 5 seconds every time I try to record with no explanation - see attached.

(The 5 seconds it does record sounds perfect!)

Do you literally mean: Exactly 5.000 seconds?

What does Allen & Heath have to say?

Have you tried recording with QuickTime?

Yeah literally 5.000 seconds every time

Do you have any trial / demo plug-ins installed?

Does your Mac have a built in mic? If it does, try recording from the mic to see if the same thing happens.
