Dave: question about HD space and recording

Harry_D · #1 11-30-2004, 06:26 AM

Hey Dave,

I was wondering if you knew (or could take a wild guess) how much HD space you needed to record STSA.

And while we're on the subject, the same question for the Alive in an ultra world recording. That must have been a huge undertaking.

Thanks,
Harry.

I know I'm not Dave

But I'd take a guess of something around 20 to 30 gb. My dad does multimedia cd's and normally the full audio files go somewhere to 4gb. Considering dave probably had 5 or 6 or even more tracks per song, it'd take somewhere near that....of course, I could be mistaken...It could take a lot more then that

Hey Harry..

I believe the whole thing was about 20 gig (at 44.1k). Each song had at least 32 tracks, most were hitting about 40.

I recorded onto Seagate 72 gig, 15,000 rpm SCSI drives through a Stor-case dual rackmount set-up.
