Subject: Time for a lesson on bit rates


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.  I was under the impression that if I used the Edirol on 
the wave setting, it would be about a mg a minute, and that would give me 
about 50 mgs on the card.
Well, such was not the case, because I only got about one song and a little 
bit of banter, and the song wasn't even four minutes long.
I got home and hooked it up to the computer and saw that the card was 
completely used up with just that.

So, not knowing much about how bit rates work, doing the math conversions, 
and such, I'd like for someone to explain all of this to me in a logical way 
so that I know what to use for recording when.
If this has been talked about on the list, then feel free to respond to me 
off list; however, I wonder if others wouldn't like some sort of explanation 
as well.

Jim
