Available Recording Time

The available recording time depends on the capacity of the selected work disk and the
selected recording resolution and sampling rate. A 1 GB hard disk drive, for example,
offers 188 track minutes of 16-bit, 44.1 kHz recording.
The following table lists the approximate 16-bit, 44.1 kHz recording time offered by a
variety of disk capacities. To calculate the approximate recording time for other disk
capacities, see "Calculating the approximate Recording Time" on page 7, or simply
multiply the time available for a 1 GB disk by the disk capacity. A 6 GB disk, for exam-
ple, can store approximately 1,128 track minutes, or 30 hours of 16-bit, 44.1 kHz digital
audio (e.g., 188 6 = 1,128).
