This is a seldom, if ever, seen, error message that appears when
a sound file does not have some required information. You
wont be able to open the file.

Must have a 64K block to record
Must have a 128K block to record

If

Max Block

shows less than 64K, you’ll get this message when

you try to record in mono. If

Max Block

shows less than 128K,

you’ll get this message when you try to record in stereo. Even
though you close files to free up memory, the CS memory
manager may not join the newly freed pieces of memory
together. This is the same reason that the

Max Block

setting

may show you have 110K free before you record a l00K file and
still show 90K free when you finish the recording; the memory
manager does some memory resorting to put together and
make available fragmented pieces of memory.

AIFF supports more than S bit samples. Sound files created on
the Macintosh, for example, may be 16 bit samples. You won’t
be able to open the file.

P l a y b a c k s p e e d i s t o o f a s t

When this message appears, the file segment

is

too small to be

played at such a high speed. Slow down the

Playback Sample

exiting the Control Panel while playing can also cause this
error).
