Making Long Recordings

  The  Settings dialog box     allows you to specify the
  maximum length of a DECsound recording.  However,
  the size of a recording is also limited by the amount of free
  memory available on the system.

  In some cases, while you are making long recordings
  DECsound displays a message informing you that there
  is insufficient memory before your recording reaches the
  maximum recording length.  If this happens, take one of the
  following actions:

  *   Save the recording and restart DECsound in one of the
      following ways:

      -   Click on the Save button

      -   Choose  Save  or Save As...  from the DECsound     File
          menu.

  *   Decrease the maximum recording length.

      Choose  Settings...  from the  Options   menu to display
      the Settings dialog box.    In the dialog box, use the Max.
      Length slider to decrease the maximum recording length.

  *   Ask your system manager to increase the memory quotas
      for your account.

  When you open a DECsound recording that is longer than
  the maximum recording length, you cannot record new
  material onto the end of that recording.  However, you can
  bypass this problem by following these steps:

  1.  Use the  Display Energy    or Display Samples      items
      on the View   menu to display the waveform for the
      recording.

  2.  Use the  Select All  and  Cut  items from the DECsound

      Edit menu to transfer the recording to the    clipboard.

  3.  Click on the Record    button to record the message that
      you want to add to the existing recording.

  4.  Click on the Stop   button when you finish recording.

  5.  Position the pointer at the start of the recording, and
      choose Paste   from the DECsound     Edit menu to insert
      the original recording.
