There must be some kind of app that could run and keep the comp fro sleeping while recording? Kind of a pain to keep having to change power settings.
I don't think it actually is a problem any more with Audials... the truth is that I am a creature of habit. I had some a few problems years ago recording and encoding video and I just got in the habit of putting the computers to sleep manually. Does anyone else remember the challenges involved when transferring video to a computer from a camcorder through firewire and then re-encoding?
I have my laptops set up to sleep or shut down automatically only when they are running on batteries in case I forget and put them in their cases still running.
