every time you change the bit rate, or the sample rate, or how many channels, you change the length capability.
16bit at 44,100Hz stereo, 3 hours and 22 minutes and some seconds. If you change to mono, you double the time. 22,050Hz, double again, 11025, double again, etc.So, let's say you wish to record a 12 hour file? 22,050Hz in mono will do it, with quite decent fidelity.

And, if all that you are recording is talk and no music cut the sample rate of the WAV file and you can gain your self a ton of waisted file space. But, if you will have music in some of the recordings you will not want to back the sample or bps too far down. But, you could a sample rate of 22,500 and BPS of 96000 instead of 128,000 and still have decent fidelity and get a lot more into one 2GB file.David Tanner Assistive Technology Specialist for blind, visually impaired and deaf-blind MN State Services f/t Blind 2200 University Ave. West Suite 240 St. Paul MN 55114 (Office) 651-642-0795 )Cell) 651-270-2233 -----Original Message-----From: studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:studiorecorder-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mary EmersonSent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 6:59 AM To: studiorecorder@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [studiorecorder] large filesUse one .wav file per tape. This will keep you mindful that Studio Recorder has a size limit on files it can work with. Keep the .wav file size under 2 gig. This translates to the length of each file of about two hours. It can't work with anything bigger than two gig. Also remember that Studio Recorder works with .wav files directly. You can store output in MP3 format, but to work directly with a file as you edit, it must be a .wav file.Mary Mary
