Re: [microsound] wigout errors



Hi,
I used Wigout for PC.
I remember getting memory overflows when trying to create longer sounds  -
and coming to a conclusion that it must be my computer's memory limitations.
Supposedly Wigout doesn't check the avaialability of memory it allocates,
and at some point steps out of the available range.
I wasn't able to create sounds longer than ~80 secs on my comp, working with
256 mb RAM.
Try and see if this problem you have is connected to the overall time of the
whole composition.
Best of luck.
