Glad you got it working wombil. Another point to be aware of is that as you now have 1.2 installeed, and therefore yoyr preferences are set in the registry. When you later upgrade either to the latest Beta 1.3.x (pretty stable now) or to the soon-to-be-released "stable" v2.0 then the prefe...

Your posting rings a bell ...

Have you, by any chance, got Sound Activated Recording enabled?

Go to Edit > Preferences > Recording and if that option is checked, just un-check it.

L-P is feeding this to phono pre-amp and thence on to a (an upgrade?) on-board soundca...

... I still don't understand why 35 minute project file is 4-5 times as large as another that is the same length and captured with exactly the same parameters. Norm, it may just be down to the amount of editing that you have been doing on the two different projects. What happens if you export them ...

For transcribing 78's you really need a special stylus (needle). A "normal" stylus will bottom out in the larger grooves on a 78. Check the cartridge that came with the Ion to see if there is a 78 rpm stylus available. And if you don't use a special; stylus designed for 78s thaen you are ...

If all you want to do is to split it up with no further editing, then there are simpler tools better suited to the task.

There was reputed to be one developer who managed a very large, multi-hour recording, but some very special provisions had to be made. For one thing, the machine certainly can't be doing anything else, and there's a better than even chance he wasn't in Windows. Cm'on Koz - even Windows will handle ...
