Adding Effects
To give your file a little extra flavor, you can add special effects. These effects are available in the Effects
menu and they manipulate the entire sound file. So if you only want a portion of the file to have a special
effect, you’ll have to copy the sound file, cut it into portions, apply the effect a portion at a time and then
combine them again.
The effects in Sound Recorder are:
Increase Volume
This increases the volume by 25%. (However, you can select this
option twice for a 50% increase, three times for a 75% increase,
and so on.)
Decrease Volume
This decreases the volume by 25%.
Increase Speed
This doubles the rate of a sound’s playback.
Decrease Speed
This slows the rate of a sound’s playback by 50%.
Add Echo
This adds an audio reverb.
Reverse
This reverses the sound so it can be played backward.
Increasing The Maximum Recording Time
Sound Recorder included with Windows 95 and Windows 98 has a default maximum time of 60 seconds of
continuous recording. If you stop recording at any point before reaching the 60 second limit, you can then
continue recording and have another 60 seconds of continuous time before Sound Recorder automatically
stops. You can repeat this start-stop routine indefinitely if you need to record a long passage as one file.
Here's an alternate method to increase the maximum recording time in Sound Recorder:
1.
Make sure your
is muted so it will not pick up sound.
2.
Click Record, and then let Sound Recorder run for 60 seconds (recording silence).
3.
After Sound Recorder stops recording, click Save As on the File menu, and name the file Blank.wav.
4.
To increase the maximum recording time in Sound Recorder, click Insert File on the Edit menu, and
then insert the Blank.wav file that you saved in step 3. When you do this, the maximum recording
time is increased 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 5-minute recording time, insert the
Blank.wav file five times.
More Information
Installation
- If the Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe) is not already installed on your system, you will find
instructions for its installation by clicking Start>Help, then choosing the Index tab and typing "Sound
Recorder". Display the instruction by double clicking on Installation. Also, install the Windows 95 volume
control by placing a check in the volume control box when checking the Sound Recorder box during the
Sound Recorder installation process.
Microphone
- To record sound, any inexpensive microphone with a mini plug that fits into your sound card
microphone jack on your computer will do. An inexpensive stand microphone that you can buy in a
computer store is nice, since it frees your hands for keyboarding. A slightly more expensive
headset/microphone allows you to also listen in privacy without disturbing others around you.
