recording time?

[MtnMixer]

I have contracted to record and video a local band on July 4th. I'm going to take a stereo feed from the foh mixer, and record the audio to my laptop in Samplitude. I was wondering how large the wave files would be recording at 44.1K. The band wants the whole 2 hours.

stereo WAV files @ 44.1kHz will be 10MB/minute for 16bit, or 15MB/minute for 24bit. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so...

Thanks Ed. I should have titled the post, how big will the files be?
