What's The MB Limit In The Music Thread ?

It seems that there are limitations in the size of the area set aside for music in the thread below.

Is it possible to do a whole arrangement, or are snippets the way to go. I have never done this online b4, and I am use to other ways of recording.

Is it possible to sacrifice the fidelity a touch to make your entire arrangement fit?

The time draws near, and I once again summon by brothas' of the Z 4 sugestions.

Well, you need to post it as mp3 anyway. So if the file is too big, you will have to use a lower bit-rate, untill it fits. I don't know the exact size limit.

8mb, i seem to remember.

I believe Waynes right. I seem to remember an 8MB, or 10MB limit was mentioned.

Thanks,

Some years ago I posted a 9-minutes-track and shrinked it to bitrate 112 to avoid the 8 MB limit.

Is that an option in Cubase 4 Herr Voigt, my brotha', from another mother. It sounds like what I need ,as my compositions are not commercially orientated, but are organized as movements.

I don´t know about Cubase but my Nuendo supports lots of resolutions so I expect Cubase4 for the same.
But to be honest, as I suppose you put much work in your tracks so why you want to share it in a bad quality to reach 8 mb?

I suggest you ask a friend or find a way to upload your track(s) to a internet server and remote link it here on Z?

I have some space left on my server if you need some.

Thanks CW,
As this is all new to me, but I can't see just posting a snippet, unless it would be an example, which I shall also do.

I have many performance tricks in mind to share here as well.

This will be so much fun, especially if members get use from it.

I owe everyone here for their help in the last 2 years, and feel I should contribute something in return.

Check out the Vega thread as I am having a window other than the one described by guys. Mine says OBXFLX when loading Vega? I am sure it's an easy overlooked addition on my part.

Thanks Again,

Hey, Brotha' Jim, I did it with WaveLab 3. I don't own Cubase 4 cos I read so many warnings about bugs, instability etc., so I decided to stay at Cubase SL 3.

Just some notes played with layered synth sounds would be nice already

An 'high quality' mp3 track of 6-7 minutes won't bring you to the limit btw:-)

looking forward for anything

Good Tip Huey,
I am going to remember that. Is it possible to record in Cubase 4, and push a button that will convert to the highest fidelity in a mathematical sense of deduction ? Wow, I almost sound like I know what I'm talking about.

I mean say you use x------amount of time, can one figure the best fidelity on that basis?

I'm getting nervous already.

usually those programs offer a few levels, like 'standard 128k', up to 'high q.' 256k Variable Bit Rate (VBR), or bigger.
Not cubase SX3 tho, if I'm right 4 does

384k is said to be good enough for DJs to use downloaded tracks of that calibre life

256k (VBR) is perfect for planetz.
Only if the subject is about high quality audio stuff, like a test of the psyQ or comparing emulations with the originals it makes sense to worry
