Roland VS-1824 Recording Times vs. Sample Rate/Recording Modes, Checking Remaining Space, 217

Recording Times vs. Sample Rate/Recording Modes

The available recording time for a hard drive depends on a number of factors, including the size of the drive, the sample rate, the recording mode and the total number of tracks recorded. Both the recording mode and sample rate can be selected on a song-by-song basis. Recording time in track minutes for a 2000 MB partition is shown below:

Track Minutes (see Appendices p. 13).

Recording		Sample Rate
Mode	48 kHz	44.1 kHz	32 kHz
MTP	742 mins.	808 mins.	1114 mins.
CDR/MAS	370 mins.	404 mins.	556 mins.
MT1	742 mins.	808 mins.	1114 mins.
MT2	990 mins.	1078 mins.	1484 mins.
LIV1	1188 mins.	1292 mins.	1782 mins.
LIV2	1484 mins.	1616 mins.	2228 mins.

(All times are approximate)

*The above chart is a general yardstick for estimating record times. Actual times may vary slightly depending on your hard drive’s specifications or the number of songs created.
