Re: Which kind of Audio file does a Windows user use by default?(and a bit OT)

Most excellent, and very interesting! You must have quite an HD on your
unit. :-) Digidesign gets very skittish about anything under a 604e @300mhz
for PT free, not to mentional the RAM requirements. Are you using PT Free
5.01 or 3.4 (it's first incarnation)?
I'm using ProTools 4.3.2


To George's specific concern, PT is really not very keen on compression of
any kind, and his audio files would have been fairly humongous.


I'm using an 60gb HD. 4.3.2 did great on my old Mac 6500 (225mh, 64 
mb ram, 3gig HD) under 8.6.

ProTools is a true recorder and only compresses after recording, 
i.e., during sound enhancement, bouncing or exporting. The newer 
versions that are used with PCI cards or mBox can compress on the fly 
while recording as an insert.

With regards to audio work: my 3400 has only 80 MB
Ram,  so you are limited to about 5 min, for a 20 MB
Ram file (then you must save to the HDD, etc.), so,
taking into account OS requirements, maybe about 15
min. to play with.
I use ProTools and have recorded two straight hours of stereo sound 
on my 3400c/80mb with no problem. ProTools records direct to the HD. 
ProTools Free is available at digidesign.com
