Hi,

Trust me, your life's not over. I've experienced this too. It's not that you're running out of memory. It's that Studio Recorder can't deal with files larger than two gigabytes. Assuming your tapes are recorded in stereo, the best solution would be to change files when you change tapes, or even when you change sides if you're going to want to be able to access stuff on the back side of tapes quickly.

If your tapes are recorded in two-track mono, that is, just a mono recording on either side of the tape, you can double the available recording time by switching Studio Recorder to use mono.

Hope that helps!
Jayson

Hi all,
Now you all will think my email is over dramatic, but at least read the damn thing first, before you all thikk that, ok? I would yours, if you felt the way I feel at the moment! First, today, I couldn't dictate some braille files from my notebook into a dictation program, using microsoft word, so, those files are gone, never to be returned, and so, all the braille files I wanted to get rid of from all my braille notebooks, are not going to be able to be done, so, all the stuff I wanted to digitize, will not be able to be digitized, so, if there is a fire or flood, I'll lose all the stuff I have ever done in braille, personal files, etc.! Second, now, Studio Recorder screws my plans for recording. Folks, we all need to take our tapes and digitize them. After all, if there is a fire or flood, you will lose everything you've ever redcorded on those tapes. I tell cliants to do this, all the time, so, I need to do it myself! So, tonight, I'm recording something from 3 tapes to the computer, using studio recorder. I was almost done, and then I get this damn message, which said, "studio recorder dialogue, there is not enough room to complete this document, ok button." What in the hell is this all about, my friends? Why is studio recorder limiting my recording? It got to the 202 minute point in the recording, then, I get that message. What am I going to do? All the tapes with personal stuff on them, which I will never get back, I just want to digitize the damn things!
I paid $200 for this?
So, what would you all do? Maybe you are all ok with losing all your personal stuff, at least many people I talk to about doing these kind of things don't give a darn what they don't save for the future. But I do, I want to save what I need to save! So, does anybody know of someone who can take all my tapes and digitize them? I was hoping to do it myself, because then, I wouldn't have to pay someone, but obviously not, huh? I know this message is over dramatic, but at the moment, I don't care how it sounds. Between the dictation mess, and the recording mess, all my stuff, all my personal and technical stuff I have brailled over the years, and that I've recorded over the years, will not be able to be saved, it sure looks like it anyway! If that is the case, my life is over, I mean what do I have to live for? All the wonderful things I have here, all the personal stuff I have, I can't save it now, not the braille stuff, not the recorded stuff.
I hurt right now, very, very, much!
Harry
