S1 drops out of record...

I'm trying to record a multitrack from 2 consoles for a live recording. At some time into the recording, S1 drops out of record, but continues to play only, like it's punching out of record. I've tried various things thinking it might be a mouse issue, but it still happens.

Are there any settings that drop S1 out of record if an event of some sort is detected?

Thanks.

To get started please update your signature (see link and example in mine) with your system specs as that information helps when responding to your questions.

Do you maybe have a Loop defined and Auto Punch enabled? That would do what you're describing.

Please post a screenshot of your Studio One mix setup or a link to a video to help show the issue you're having.
Often a screenshot helps identify the root cause of a problem.
 
If you have autopunch enabled, Studio One will drop out of record when it reaches the end of the loop range. That's the only scenario that I know of that would cause it to drop out of record.

I checked and auto punch isn't activated.
 
I'm not seeing anything being recorded or where it stops in your screenshot .

I'm not at the gig. This is a screen shot of the session from my laptop. I can't show anything from the show until I go back in a few days.

Are there any settings I'm missing that may stop a recording, such as too many peaks detected? This is a theatre show I'm recording, and off stage the performers get crazy loud in the dressing rooms so the peak meters on many channels are held. I had a look but I can't see any setting that may react to too many peaks...
 
Not that I'm aware of.
How far into the recording before it reverted to play?
Were you there the entire time to monitor the recording?
What else is running on the computer during recording?
Make sure sleep mode for the computer and USB ports are disabled and you're running it on a conditioned power source.
 
NOthing else running on the computer while recording. I can't really monitor the computer that much as I am mixing a very very busy theatre show. I usually just hit record and forget about until intermission, then start recording for act 2. I just did a "test" record at home with the show file, but it's not connected to the recording devices. It stayed in record for 2 horus without dropping out.

I've turned off sleep, and it's connected to power the whole time.

Conditioned power?
Can you have someone else keep an eye on it until you figure out what's causing the issue?
 
Trucky is in the right track. It needs to be observed by someone. Have them also watch the CPU monitor at bottom left of the transport bar. That CPU graoh should be opened and select "All plugins". Then set the % column twice to be top-down in order of highest plugin percentages of used showing at the top. I've had S1 jump out of recoding when CPU hits overload. By viewing the individual effects/instruments, you can either sleep, or scale down that activity if it's a problem.
