I have a 12" Powerbook 1GHZ G4 with a 60gig hard drive and 768RAM. I am about to purchase the MOTU 896 and possibly the Glyph GT 103. I will be using this setup as a portable studio. Now for my question. Approximately how much space is needed for recording 8 simultaneous inputs at 192kHz for one hour?
Is there a formula for figuring out hard drive space needed for a certain amount of inputs for a certain amount of time? Thanks for any assistance... |

The slower drive on the 12" Powerbook is the main reason I plan to purchase the Glyph GT 103. It is a 1U rack with space for three hot swappable firewire drives. Expensive YES, but a great piece of equipment.
This brings up another question. Will I run into problems recording directly to an external firewire drive? This post has been edited by synapse: Thu 15 Jan 2004, 22:44 |
