I don't know what everybody is giving gross figures for but I've used an 8-bit
codec sampler at 8Khz, and the results are great for speech. The man who asked
the question is obviously not doing research.
I was quite impressed, as somewhat of a layman, with NeXT's built in sampling.
Mac's 8-bit, 22Khz sampling, sounds awful.
Perhaps it has something to do with the speakers I'm listening to.
Anyway, my point is that NeXT does 8-bit sampling at 8Khz, meaning 29 Meg/hour.
And, it sounds darn good.
