Increase the Maximum Recording Time

In the Sound Recorder utility the maximum time of recording is 1 minute. You can increase it to any number of minutes of your choice by applying this trick. First make sure that your microphone is muted so it will not pick up sound. Click Record, and then let Sound Recorder run for 60 seconds. This will create a blank wave file of length 1 minute. After 60 seconds,click Save As on the File menu, and name the file loops.wav Click Insert File on the Edit menu, and then insert the loops.wav file. This increases the maximum recording time by 60 seconds. You can repeat this step once for each additional minute of recording time that you want to add. For example, for a 10-minute recording time, insert the loops.wav file 10 times.
