This was easy to set from the Audio File drop-down in the Bin in Logic Pro 8, but I haven't found it under Settings, Preferences, or Project Audio in X. I want to set a fixed recording length so I can step away and know that recording will stop in whatever amount of time I need, whether that be 3 minutes or 45 minutes. This is still a settable parameter someplace, isn't it?
You can use Logic's Meta Events to define any location in your Project where Logic stops playback, in Playback Mode or in Record Mode
Here is the setup:
Now you can use the Region to place it at any position along the timeline and the Meta Event inside (telling Logic to stop playback) will move with it (like regular MIDI Events in a MIDI Region. If you want the Playback (or recording) stop at bar 51, move the Region to bar 51. Simple as that. You can use the Secondary Ruler to display Absolute Time if you want to position the stop command, for example, at 5min32sec.
Hope that helps

Thanks very much, Edgar. I can move forward with this solution, and it's good education for me to learn about using such meta events. I'll look further.
There used to be a much simpler method of setting the maximum recording duration to a given value of time in units of minutes. That capability appears to have been removed. I can't see the logic for having done that to Logic.
Not sure if this will help as I'm staying with Logic 9, do you have ALL of the "Advanced Tools" enabled in Logic's Preferences?
Thanks for the reply. I have all but "Surround" and "Control Surfaces" enabled.
Where is recording duration set?
