108 MB --> 1.09 GB??

Hulk

I had an audio file that was 108MB, I edited it (did noise reduction, etc, I think i only did 3 effects on it), I went to copy it back into my voice recorder and it wouldn't. I clicked on properties and saw that it's now 1.09 GB!?

How did this happen and how do I get it back to 108 mb? How do I add effects to it without increasing the memory it takes up?

Ditto. Started with a 35mb file, edited out 40% of it, wound up with a 135mb file...

Why?

How to save/save as to be smaller file size?

what type of file was you working with originally?

also,are you now saving it as a lossless file?

try saving it as the same type of file/bit rate as the original.

i had an mp3 at 192kbps that was about 4.3MB. i removed less than 1 second at the beginning,and about 3 seconds of silence from the end.the end result was a file of approx. 4.2MB.

you two must be doing something wrong somewhere.

I had the same problem with my file, and what I did was open a new file, copy and paste the audio that I wanted to keep into the new file, and then save it with the same settings as my original. It worked!
