Recording times on the Tascam DR40
Hey errbody. I have had my DR40 for a few weeks and on a 16GB SDHC card,the most I get in stereo mode is 6hrs and something. On the H4N I always got like 21 hrs in stereo and 11 in 4ch. The card shows 12GB free after a shoot but only like 3hrs recording time? Am I doing something wrong here?

Re: Recording times on the Tascam DR40
It depends on your bitrate. I have a H4n and its record duration on a 8GB card varies from 3.5 hours to 16 hours... Your bitrates are probably different.

Re: Recording times on the Tascam DR40
Make sure you have the latest firmware, earlier version have some problem with recording time or something like that.

Re: Recording times on the Tascam DR40
So there's a setting that says "size" and the largest size is 2G. The bitrate is 44/16 wave btw.

Re: Recording times on the Tascam DR40
Ok, so apparently what it's showing me on the display is what is potentially left in the "file" it's creating so 1 file vs the whole card which seems a snidge backwards. Is there a way to change that?

Re: Recording times on the Tascam DR40
When the DR-40 reaches the 2GB file size, (which depends on the file format and other factors) it starts a new file but keeps recording until the card is full. I'm not aware of anyway to change the 'time remaining' display.
