johnmar78 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 You might want to look into a lossless compression format like FLAC. I use FLAC to archive my recordings and it is a lifesaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Once you have uploaded compressed tracks (Hi-SP, Hi-LP) into My Library, Marcnet's Hi-MD Renderer (see under Software Discussion) will convert them to FLAC if you prefer.
