WS, I am curious. Have you actually recorded 16 tracks of 16bit audio on a 233 PII without a system hiccup? If you have successfully done this and processed the tracks on the computer(effects, compression), I would be interested to know. At 16bit 44.1khz that comes to 80mb per minute if each track is mono. I always experienced latency and "hiccups" when I tried it.He would use 2400mb for a 30 minute CD, in addition non-destructive editing would create numerous other wave files and if he were to try 24bit the memory allocation would really jump up there.
