audio convertors?

I tried using what he said here, but the file size has only increased instead of decrease

Greetings Maxdy,

You might try this site: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/windows.php

It's a freeware audio program that allows you to open, edit and save audio files of varying formats including mp3 and wav.

As far as small wave files go, there is one format which might suit your needs: Microsoft adpcm wav format.



I work with audio all the time on my home system. I use Adobe Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro which Adobe bought.)

Just for fun, I converted a 16bit stereo 44.1khz wav which was 39.5 MB (approx 4 min song) to a 8bit mono 8 Khz wav. This brought the file size down to about 1.8 MB. Then I saved it as a ADPCM wav which brought the size down to 930kb. The quality is not so good. It sounds like what you would hear from an AM radio without the static and other noise. It's not so bad considering the file is about 42 times smaller.

I haven't tried audacity yet but I just downloaded it to check it out. In the mean time, you might want do a google search for utilities that can save files as ADPCM Wavs. Hope this helps.

Edit: For audacity to load/save mp3s, you also have to download the lame mp3 encoder library. It's on the same page as Audacity.

thansks for the info man. i just find Mp3Pro which is in Nero Wave Editor. It makes the file smaller than 1MB. Try it out. It's cool

u find to pay for the Mp3Pro encoder at Nero site. if u want it, find me.

Thanks but I already the nero mp3pro plugin which I rarely use. I use Adobe audition and LAME for my mp3 needs. Lately, I've been converting files to Ogg vorbis. It think they are a bit better quality wise. See ya later.

Soundforge 6 works just as well for almost everything you guys have mentioned. (i only skimmed, i may have missed something.) depends on whether you're willing to buy it or not i suppose. It's my personal favorite for .wav editing. although Adobe Audition is nice as well.
