so I'm new to transfering. I just got a audiophile2496. my computer is a bucket so we put it on my buddys. ussing soundforge6.0>cdwave. I talked to him today and he said the one show we did (about 3 hours or so) took up 4 gigs and he couldn't even resample it untill he cleaned up disc space. does this sound right?
-
oh yea. he has an 18 gig harddrive. there are a lot of shns/flacs he has downl;oaded thsat we need to clear off.
-
No, doesn't sound right to me at all. Unless you are in the 24/96 realm, those files should be well under 1.8 GB!

ok some suggestions- i assume you are using windows. look at your recycle bin- you can change the amount of cache size it uses. take that baby down to zero. frees up a bunch of space.
second, go buy another hard drive. over on compgeeks they have a 120gig 7200 RPM drive for like 100 bucks. Its worth it to have the free space.

For reference, 2 hours of 16-bit stereo audio at 44.1kHz takes up 1.17GB...that's the size chunk I used to use because my program would choke on anything bigger. Like Daryan said, if you're at 16/44, that puts you right under 1.8GB for three hours.
