sizes are a direct result of the sampling rate and the
word size or number of bits used to capture the amplitude. With a 16 bit word size and a 44.1 KHz sampling rate, 1 minute of audio (uncompressed) occupies 5 Meg (mono) and 10 Meg (stereo) [44,100 * 60 seconds = 2,646,000 words. A word = 2 bytes. So 60 seconds requires 5,292,00 bytes (mono)] |
