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...
