What is the disk space/minute/track of each?

Without going into the "science" of things, that's the sample rate (44.1kHz) and the word length (16-bit, 24-bit - sort of a.k.a. "bit-depth").
A CD is 44.1kHz @ 16-bit, and takes "roughly" 10MB per minute.
IMHO, you should record, mix, process, master, etc. at AT LEAST 24 bit. Most will agree on this... Obviously, you're looking at around 1/3 larger files, but the difference in sound quality is worth much more than simple storage of 1's and 0's...

I'm just looking for the MB's per minute, I do record at 24bit but just never looked at the difference of the two, I always here recording at 96k takes up a lot of space but not about just going to 24 bit and keeping the SR the same, what is it 8 bits in a byte and 1000 bytes in a MB so yeah the difference is 33.333% or around 13.33MB/minute, hey I guess that wasn't that hard
