I'm doing a project at the moment for a friend involving a lot of sound files which need a lot of cutting up and editing.
I'm using Audacity for the most part and for the end result the files need to be in .wav format (I don't get a choice of formats)
The only problem is that Audacity only exports .wav's in a very high quality format, meaning that if I take a recording, cut it in half and save it, it ends up a lot larger than the original file.
Does anyone know where/how i can compress a wav file to be smaller (the quality of the recording really doesn't matter for this, as long as you can hear what the artist is saying reasonably clearly). I've tried google but not gotten very far as I'm not sure what will actually work and the couple of links that have seemed promising my AV hasn't liked.
Free options would be prefereable as I really don't have a budget and its for personal rather thatn commercial use.
Any ideas?
