I haven't noticed any problems yet, but I'm sure I will. I'm running XP home on a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Cubase SE3, and only have 512. 48/24 seems to be a common resolution tho, at least on the discs I looked at. So just get a big fat drive and save away.Įdit - dvd sound quality varies, it can be anything from 44.1/16 to 192/24. You can record in even higher resolutions like 96/24, that 600 mb song will now be something like 2.5 gb, so now only 200 will fit on that drive. I beleive 48/24 is dvd quality sound, which is about 10% larger than 44.1/24, the example sound will be about 1gb. You could save ~550 songs on that drive in this resoultion. You can get a 500 gb external drive for about $100, that'd hold 800 or so songs with the above specs.Ĭhange your recording resolution to 44.1/24bit and the track gets 50% larger, that 600 meg song is now 900 megs. So a 5 minute song with 12 tracks will be around 600 mb.

ONLY hard drive space.Ĭd quality is 44.1/16bit - that's about 10 megs per track-minute. It has nothing to do with cpu or memory, sound drivers, video properties, nothing. That depends on how big your hard drive is, and the resolution you record in. but i want to keep all my song info even after the finished product is burned.
