However...When I mix the song down, it's a whopping 27 mega bits. Is there a windows tool that will shrink it?? stonebobbo Posted 2006-11-11 7:34 PM (#232088 - in reply to #232087) Subject: Re: make the song smaller Joined: August 2002 Posts: 8307 Location: Tennessee Probably saving it as a .wav. They are huge files ... my song was 58MB. If you put it on a disk and play it through Windows Media Player, there is an option to "copy from CD". It will save it as a .wma file and it will probably end up around 4MB. stephent28 Posted 2006-11-12 2:22 PM (#232089 - in reply to #232087) Subject: Re: make the song smaller Joined: April 2004 Posts: 13303 Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 Files are always big when in their native format. Most sequencers will give you the option to mix down to a more manageable size once you are happy and ready to commit to disk.
