Missing FORM/COMM/SSND chunk in AIFF file 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 recordMust 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.

Only 8 Bit Samples Supported

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.

When this message appears, the file segment is too small to be played at such a high speed. Slow down the Playback Sample Rate or select a larger segment of the file. (Entering and exiting the Control Panel while playing can also cause this error).
