149 seconds?

[roberto]

ive read a review stating that a 100MB zip disk will only hold 149 seconds of 8 track, can anyone confim this. Im just about to buy a BR-8 but with a built in Zip drive storing just over 2minutes would i be better off getting a recorder with a hard disk like the Fostex digital 8 track?

Try this link,Digital Math 101 It should give you an idea of how much space you need.

Uncompressed, then yes, you'll get 149 seconds. But most digital portas have compression.

The manual for the BR-8 are sure to tell you how much you will be able to record.
Check with the music store.

The BR-8 is the "Hyundai" of digital multi-track recorders. Just so you know.
