    Storage tip: These numbers estimate uncompressed PCM audio such as WAV or AIFF. Your DAW project may use additional space for alternate takes, edits, peak files, backups, autosaves, freeze files, and other project data.

    For large recording sessions, it's a good idea to leave additional free space on your drive rather than filling it close to capacity.
