can anyone tell me how to do it, or easier yet just tell me flat out the answer....
16/44

512MB CF card 50 min 46 min 31 min 15 min 7 min

That's a great question and there should be a sticky made with the various file sizes for Flash/HD/HiMD recording devices. I love to see the ads that say you can "Record up to 40 hours of audio on the supplied 32MB card"...must be 8kbps super compressed mono MP3s or something :)

wow thanks a lot +T

back atcha!

It's not stickied - too many threads of interest to warrant stickying them all - but it is in the Archive:
Want to know what size your 16-bit or 24-bit files will be on hard drive at different sample rates? Here you go...
Bit-Depth Sample Rate (in kHz) MB Per Track-Minute
16 44.1 5
16 48 5.5
24 44.1 7.6
24 48 8.25
24 96 16.5
24 192 33
A typical CD-R can hold just over 21 track minutes of 24/96 audio...
And I've added kgreener's post to the Archive thread as well:

thanks
the one originally posted above is much easier to understand for me though
-
this is something that I put together a while back:
http://24bit.turtleside.com/pcm.wav.file.sizes.pdf (http://24bit.turtleside.com/pcm.wav.file.sizes.pdf)
it also shows how to calculate everything as well, in case you are interested...

nice
thanks again to everyone its been a huge help

Really cool if you're at a festival and want to calculate if you should tape the next couple bands at 24bit or 16bit and ensure you have enough space for the headliner!

More good info, courtesy of Sound Device (http://sounddevices.com/tech/recordtime.htm)s:

N.B.- The Tascam times are for stereo, so half them for post production matrix 4 channel recordings or double them for mono.
