my sound file is too big

--Hi friends, yesterday, i used "sound recorder" of microsfot to record something, yes.."taurent sound". but i then was shocked to see the file size "80 - 100 kb" per file(.wav)....hix, what can i do with these...( I tried to say as quickly as possible,...about 1~4 seconds,...but the result is not better...)
--Do you know how to make my files size smaller,...if i shout loudly...is it size will increase???

try MP3's, and then a sound compressor. I had a program that did that, but I don't remember what it was.

Also, reducing quality and KHz helps. (I don't know if this only works for Mp3's)

One simple answer to all music problems:

GOLD-WAVE

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Use that, you can adjust audio quality and also save as an MP3 (Higher Compression) with the lame mp3 encoder.

It's free btw.

Also, Don't ever use windows recorder :P

Whenever I try to use audacity it does *something* that causes ALL sound output from my compy to slow. Yes, that's right, audacity makes everything go Barry White for me.

Windows recorder will have to do.

Yeah, actually, I've noticed that Audacity sometimes mutes all sound on my computer until I log out and back in.
