K,

Just saw a 1 Tb 5400 RPM 32Mb cache Internal Western Digital on Tiger Direct 
www.tigerdirect.com for $49. But I'm aiming for the WD 7200 RPM 2 Tb with 
slightly higher performance specs at ~$180.

I have maybe 288 casssettes.  Some are 60 mins.  Some are 90 mins.  Some are
120 mins.  I haven't bought a drive for this yet.  Thinking of getting a 1TB
drive for cheap.  But I guess that'll work.

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?

Dave

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
