The usual way that recording devices deal with this is simply to
continue the recording in a new file. The buffer enough so that no
samples are lost, and you can paste multiple files together seamlessly.
My Korg MR-1000 works like that, as does my Mackie HDR24/96, and even
the program Audacity, though that doesn't make WAV files natively, but
does record and save in small chunks.

Still, 4 GB is a lot of audio at reasonable sample rates. Take a break!




But 2GB is just over half an hour at 16/48k/S . But it is late and my
arithmetic might be wrong . And the problem seems to be that the Midas
does *not* do the seemless thing.

My recorder running Rockbox has the 4 GB limit also (as they all do) but it also has the option to set the break point to occur at a time limit instead of a GB file size limit. I set it for 1 hour exactly.

Maybe that desk has the option to make the break point at a time limit instead of a GB limit and __maybe__ it will work better that way?
