Last minute question - size of audio files (1 Viewer)

[dimzi]

Hey all! Not long to go now!

How do you work out the size of an audio file?

I understand if its stereo you x2, and mono is just x1.

But what is the formula? (I thought it was like [if stereo] 2(sample rate x bit res x time.... but I dont know what to divide it all by :S)

Good luck everyobe btw!!!

basically just mulitply everything they give you
and that's your answers in bits
divide by 8 for bytes, another 1024 for kilbytes, another 1024 for megabytes etc.

time (in seconds) * sampling rate (in Hertz) * sampling size * 2 (if stereo)

its just (sample size x sample rate x length) x 2 if stereo or x 1 if mono

by th way we arent allowed to use a calculator

Ahh ok. The things we had to divide by is what I wasnt sure about, and what you said applies to image files aswell!

Thanks!

Thanks aswell!

Yeah, no calculators.... its gay! I'll probably just leave it in the fraction form, unless of course I feel like taking a few mins to work it out.
