How can I determine the size of the sound files before actually recording them?
To calculate the approximate size for an 8-bit, monoaural, (i.e., not stereo) file, use this formula: (number of seconds of audio) x (sample rate in kHz) = file size in Kbytes For example, 7-seconds of audio recorded at 11 kHz would require approximately 77 Kbytes of disk space. If you’re recording in stereo, you need to double the file size. Likewise, using 16-bit sampling doubles the file size again. So the same 7-seconds of audio recorded at 16-bit stereo at 44 kHz would take approximately 1.2 megabytes! ((((7 seconds) x 44) x 2) x 2) = 1,232 Kbytes – Mary A. Griffin, CRC Q: I’m confused about the various IDs and passwords I need on PennNet and the Internet. A: You and many other people! Penn’s network-based services are housed on various computers, more or less analogous to offices in a protected complex; the complex and each electronic service have their own levels and types of security. Your PennNet ID and password are analogous to the key that lets you enter the complex. The Pen
