Well today, I'm recording a Viking wake! There will be stories, prayer, and music, and it will go on for several hours. I'm recording in stereo with a coincedent pair into a VS1824CD. This prevents the need to create a master file, as no panning or effects will be applied. The question is how to manage the memory best.
With 2 tracks armed, I have about 440 minutes of recording time, but I need enough remaining memory to create a CD image to burn from. Roland tech people say it'll take memory at about a 5:2 ratio. In other words, If I divide my total memory (about 890 Track minutes) and divide by 7, that's the amount of time I can record and still have enough remaining memory to burn. This works out to about 75 minutes.
I'm using 700mb CD-R's The question is, what's the capacity in minutes, of a 700mb CD-R, and will I reach the limits of the Roland, or the CD-R first? When this capacity, which ever is lower, is reached, I'll have to burn, wipe the memory, and start again. I may have to record as much as 4-5 hours of material on separate CD's. Anybody have experience with the limits of VS memory in a remote setting?-Richie
