Approximately 10584000 bytes.

Which is about 10Mb like Rob said

Posted by RJT on Jun-29-2007 20:33:

I'm pretty sure you'll need about 2.6 gigs.

It's not exactly 10mb. That was an approximation.

Just use 10 as a measuring stick - it'll give you a bit of leeway, and if you're recording, it's not like you want to be pushing your HD right to it's limit.

so having 3.5 gb free should be ok?

Yes, you'll be fine.

If you aren't, I'll take a week suspension*.

*Suspension not valid if you simply have a wack computer and it decides to fuck itself off.

FYI 3500MB is NOT 3.5GB. 1GB = 1024MB. thats why a "100gb" drive doesnt show 100gb when you install it. they are using the 1000MB = 1GB which is false. its understated by 24MB for every gig. so after 1GB you start seeing a serious discrepancy. this is also the reason they have a "formatted capacity may not be the full size" warning.

The disk space required for storing digital audio depends on the audio bit
rate, as described above. Stereo, CD-quality, WAV format digital audio
generates a bit rate of 1.4 Mbps, which translates to 10.5 megabytes of hard
drive space per minute (60 sec x 1.4Mbps / 8 bits per byte). Thus, a typical
four-minute song recorded in WAV format will consume about 42 MB of hard drive
space.

Thanks for repeating in different words what was basically said about an hour and a half ago.

Seriously, just create one that's like 5% as long as you're going to (with all the same settings), look at its size, and then perform some basic multiplication...

i wasnt repeating it for the sake of repeating it. i was giving him information so he can always calculate the space if hes not in a position where he has lots of extra space. is there a problem with that? i dont like estimating with these types of things since i know that it could be detrimental to things.
