I think he's worried about nothing.

Kevin, do you realize that, at 24-bit, 96Khz, stereo, a 2TB hard drive has 
enough room to record for over a thousand hours? If you can live with 16-bit, 
44Khz, stereo, then that increases to over 3,300 hours, or over 137 days of 
non-stop recording. I really think you'll be OK.

Bryan

Kevin,
 
Since each of the cakewalk files either point to a sound file, or if you use a 
CWB format, include an audio file, I would think that keeping it as mono, and 
perhaps even at a lower bit rate or frequency would make it smaller. Why not 
try one using different settings in the import and saving to see what happens?

        We're talking about drawers and drawers of casettes recorded between 
the years 1970 and 1977.  this wil involve multiple large drives eventually, 
particularly if the material is organized with any thoroughness at all.

                Hi Kevin,
                 
                Why not just store them as Wav files on a dedicated memory 
stick.

                        Dear All,
                            Can I make my sonar files smaller by recording them 
in mono?  It seems that I should be able to do this.  I have a ton of old 
cassettes of my piano lessons from the 70s.  They were recorded using a mono 
cassette machine.   If I switch interleve to mono, will I get a smaller file 
size based on the idea that a stereo file at 16 bit 44.1 consumes 10MB per 
minute and that a mono file should probably consume 5MB per minute?  If 
changing the interleve to mono isn't the way to do this, what is?  Is there a 
way to record this stuff and save it as a collection of CWB files that are 
smaller than stereo files since the  original source material isn't stereo 
anyway?
                        Thanks,
                        Kevin
