How large can my files be?
There is an upper limit to how large files can be, and how much can be uploaded. The limit for individual files is set at 2 Gigabytes as computers can and do become unpredictable with files above this size. This should cover any album up to an hour long (as one file) at 96 kHz 24 bit resolution. The upper limit for how much can be uploaded for any project is 3 Gigabytes.
