Saving Large Digitized Files
to Multiple Disks
If you have a file that is larger than a single floppy disk, you
can break it up into two or more files and save it to separate
disks. You can then load it back into the program using the
App e nd option under the File menu.
To break up a file into several files, follow these instructions:
1) Hold down the
0
key while clicking the mouse
within the sound graph of the file.
This will select a portion of the file from the
beginning
to
the point where you click the arrow
2) Check the Select Region
to
see how much is
selected.
3) Continue to hold down the
0
key while dragging
more to the left or right within the sound graph until
you have selected a region the size you want
to
save.
Release the mouse button and
0
key.
4) When you have the right size, Cut it (O-X) .
This moves the selected segment to the clipboard.
Don't use the Copy command to move the
segment to the clipboard. You need
to
remove the
segment from the sound graph window.
S) Open a New file (O-N).
If you're segmenting a stereo file, your Record
Channe 1 should be set to Stereo Record before
opening a new file . Otherwise, the two channels will
be combined into one mono file.
If you're segmenting a mono file, set the Re cord
Channel
to
Channell or Channel 2 before
opening the new file. If you set the Record
Channel to Stereo Record, the mono file will be
pasted into both channels (not true stereo; just split
mono) and the size of the segment will be doubled.
6) Select All (O-A).
7) Paste (O-V) the sound segment into the sound
graph window.
