• With the default AW2400 settings a maximum of 30 seconds

can be recorded to a sound clip. If you continue recording for
longer than 30 seconds, the last 30 seconds recorded will be
retained (the counter display during recording will continue to
advance).

• You can specify up to 180 seconds as the maximum length

that can be recorded in a sound clip. You are free to make this
setting before creating a new song, but this cannot be
changed once the song has been created. (
