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.

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 :-)
