Mute the microphone. Click Record and let it record nothing for the whole 60
seconds.
When it stops, click Save as and name your file.
In Soumd Recorder, click Insert File and insert the file you just recorded.
This increases the recording time by 60 seconds. Repeat this step once for
each additional minute you want to add.

You can't without jumnping through some hoops. There is however a very good
recorder called Audacity what will give you unlimited time and do lots more
besides.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

No adware, spyware, probes; completely safe web site.

I have that one on my ibook. It looks like I may need to download it on my
PC's as well. Its freeware and not of the same quality as a professional
sound Editor, but it works.

Audacity is excellent freeware. I've been using it for a couple of
years. I've been transferring my LP's to MP3 files and it works quite
well. Audacity can even take a 78 rpm recording playing on a 33 rpm
turntable and convert it to the correct speed with just a couple of
clicks. Noise reduction, click and pop removal are all available.

Does it record in WMA format? If not, I'm sticking with I-Sound by Abyss
Media.

Now that is stupid, e.g. preferring to rip to a proprietary format. Stick
with mp3 and one's never stuck.

I found some features that its lacking that came with the discontinued
Mac OS 8 Sound Editor that I paid $100 for sometime ago. It still runs
in Classic on my iBook, but its not OSX native, and since Classic is a
non Unix based OS built for a different os and different hardware, I
have had some issues with recording audio. But its got some essential
features and effects that Audio city lacks.

but for my PC laptop I may need to download this app. My PC Laptop is
running Windows 98.

Hi, you need to save a template (you only have to do it once). Have a look

Why? MP3 format is much larger than WMA format. And I store everything
in WMA/WMV format because it is so much smaller footprint. And they sell
MP3 players and DVD players which handle WMA/WMV formats too. And since
anybody with Windows can play them, no problems whatsoever. Only Mac
andd Linux users would have a problem with them. But that is their
problem. Wink

Correction: I don't know what Audio City is, but; the reference is to
"Audacity". For an open source program, it is simply outstanding.

Give GoldWave (including older versions - actually I'm not even sure the
latest runs on '9 Cool

a look, too.
