Due to popular demand (mail) I've uploaded a program that lets you record sound samples direct to disk rather than to memory. This means that the length of the sample is only limited by disk space, not memory size. It also multitasks so you can do other things while recording hours of sound. The output is in IFF 8SVX format with many of the bells and whistles (author, sample name, annotation, copyright notice etc). Various programs are available for playing long samples, including AGMSPlaySound. Look for AGMSRecordSound on ab20.larc.nasa.gov [128.155.23.64] in the incoming/amiga directory. - Alex

What we need now is a sound sample editor that uses virtual memory. This would be a bit of pain to write but it isn't impossible. Are there any aspiring programmers out there with spare time for this? I have other higher priority things to do (AGMSPlayVideo). >There's a little program called Split, I think, which can split an enormous >file into smaller pieces for editing.

You do have to watch out since the results of split will be raw sound data, you loose all the IFF information. But then you can load the raw stuff into any sound editor and save it as IFF (after setting the playback speed). - Alex
