My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

The easiest way is to simply make sixty seconds worth of silence. Unplug the
mic and right click anywhere on your desktop to make .wav file. As a bit of
irony, the recorder used for Windows is pretty simplistic and will only
record 60 seconds worth by default unless you sit there moving the slider.
Now that I think about it... Hmm... Kinda silly but, well, maybe there was a
divine plan all along 'cause no one else could make sense of it and now -
after all these years - it turns out you need exactly 60 seconds. :) Well,
there you go, let it run for 60 seconds (you could just mute the mic) and
you'll have your pause.
