Jim, if you record with PCM Wave, the recorder needs ten megs per minute. If I want to know, how much space is required, while recording with a certain bitrate, I divide it by two. When one records with 64 KBPS for instance, one would need a little less then 32 megs per hour. If one records with 128 KBPS, one needs a little less then 64 megs per hour. This formular gives a relatively rough estimate, but it is accurate enough for me, because one always gets a little more time, than the calculation suggests.
And now a little question. Which file is bigger, a 64 KBPS stereo file or a 64 KBPS monaural one? Answer: Which box is heavier, a one Kilogram plastic box or one made of iron also weighing one Kilogram? <*** Michael Lang ***> You wrote: > Hi there, > Well, I think that now that I have an Edirol, it's time I start learning > about things, such as bit rates and speeds. > Here's why. > I tried recording a friend's 50 minute gig on it today using the 64 mb card > that it came with.
