HELP!! When recording song it only records 40 secs

When i record my song it only records for about 40 secs and wen i export it as a wav file to put it on my comp wen i play it it only plays from one studio monitor

You are recording a mono signal into a stereo file, that's why you only hear sound in one speaker. Refer to manual.

You need to install the 128Mb of ram if you want to record longer samples.

Btw, if you record in Mono instead, the sampletime is the double.

i actually lost my manual i need to order a new oneif u wouldnt mind could u tell me how to i change it so it doesnt record in mono

and where can i get the 128 ram?

Excuses excuses

Here is the manual....

eimer gave you info, I gave you the manual...now your asking to be spoonfed. You gotta be willing to put into this homie. The manual has the EXACT answers as well as the search feature on this board. No lie, with search you would have found the answer in less time then it took to get to this post.

What type of junk is that man for real, cmon.

No one will do your homework for you, it's YOUR machine and you don't wanna LEARN more about it?

Get real, pick yourself up and get into that manual.

WHY buy the machine in the first place if you lack the gumption to learn it and come to grips with it?

word, next thing he will ask me to me to dig his youtube videos for him and you to chop the samples... and pound to sequence
