Anyone know a great equation for figuring how much disc space will be used in a Pro-Tools sessions with 'X' amount of tracks at 'Y' length each at a sample rate of 48k and 16bit?

Hi,

I can send you a small program for Windows I wrote exactly for this purpose... If interested, send me your email to [email protected].

5.5 MB per Minute per Track

Approximate Storage Consumption (Megabytes per Minute per Track)

Sample Rate (kHz) 44.1 48 96 192
16-Bit — MB per Min 5 5.5 11 22
24-Bit — MB per Min 7.5 8 16 32
