No, unfortunately I don't think they do. Perhaps Apple may consider this as a feature for it in the future if there is enough demand.

Yes, this is correct. But, if you work it out:

3hrs 20min = 200min
200min * 10.6MB (wav file size per min) = 2120MB = 2GB

The file created will only be 2GB, which may mean that dukes is running a FAT filesystem rather than FAT32, which has a 2GB maximum file size. Either that or he has an extremely full hard disk!

Try encoding directly to MP3 - this should reduce the file size by around 12 times if you use 128kbps, allowing you to record for 12 time as long. You won't need to record for 40 hours though, so I would advise using a much higher bitrate, at least 192kbps to get a decent quality recording.

true.. just wasnt sure what kind of quality he is recording becuase my sets recorded at 24/96 are much shorter than that

plus...didnt feel like doing the math lol

no im running FAT32 and i had about 10gig free space so i dont really know what went wrong. i forgot to read the error coz i was in such a rage

how do you you record straight to mp3 using soundforge or am i better of with something else (like total recorder if i can get a copy)

edit* oh yes i tend to record at 128

I'm not sure if you can record to mp3 "on the fly" with Sound Forge... I run Linux so I don't use it. I know you can with Total Recorder, so it might be worth checking that out.

You should really consider recording at a higher bitrate... I personally find 128kbps horrible, and if you were considering putting these sets onto a CD or something and giving them out then 128kbps really isn't good enough.

24 * 96000 = 2304000 b/s
2304000 / 8 = 288000 B/s
288000 * 60 = 17280000 B/min
17280000 * 200 = 3456000000 B
3456000000 / 1024 = 3375000 KB
3375000 / 1024 = 3295.9 MB
3295.9 /1024 = 3.2 GB
3.2 * 2 (stereo!) = 6.4 GB



Sorry, have a maths exam tomorrow, have equations and shit running through my head so couldn't resist.
