Hi guys, do you have any idea that if I did 80% recording spaces using HIMD 1 gb mini disc and upload to my computer to sonic stage(v4) and convert to WAV files? How much hard drive space do I need to take those 80% space from the 1 GB minidisc?? or I should just do 20% usage and use a new disc?

Or its alomost the same as the 1G (converting astrct to Wav files)?

My MD is Mz hr 800.

Thanks

How many minutes of music are on the disc? .wav takes (very roughly) about 10 MB per minute. So if you recorded in .wav, you'll need 800MB (80 percent of your 1GB disc). If you recorded in Hi-SP, you'll have a lot more once it's converted to .wav: 6.4 hours = 384 minutes = 3.84 GB. I don't even want to think about how many GB you'd need for a Hi-LP disc.

You don't have to convert everything to .wav immediately. You can upload in the compressed formats and then convert the tracks you want to keep into .wav later.
