How bitrate determines compressed file size

For a fixed bitrate, file size is proportional to duration.

What drives uncompressed PCM size

Sample rate, bit depth, channels and duration all multiply together.

Calculate sample count from duration

Sample count is useful when aligning audio with time-based processing.

Plan storage for an audio library

Average track duration and bitrate can provide a simple capacity estimate.

Plan recording headroom

Do not fill a recording medium to its theoretical maximum.
