SUMMARY

MORE INFORMATION

To work around this limitation and increase the recording time, do the following:

  1. Start Sound Recorder.


  2. Choose the Record (microphone) button and let Recorder run for 60 seconds.


  3. After Recorder has stopped, choose Save As from the File menu, and name the file BLANK.WAV.
