Hard Drive Storage Space
Mono audio tracks recorded with 16-bit resolu-
tion at 44.1 kHz (CD-quality) require approxi-
mately 5 MB of hard disk space per minute. The
same tracks recorded with 24-bit resolution re-
quire about 7.5 MB per minute. Recording at
higher sample rates (88.2 kHz or 96 kHz) re-
quires about twice the hard disk space.
The following table lists the required drive space
for certain track numbers and track lengths, to
help you estimate your hard disk usage.
