Thanks man, I followed your instructions for the ring tone and the quality was just horrific.
But thanks to you, I know which settings to mess around with in order to lower the size of the file to send the ring tone through text ^^. Your a life saver

EXCELLENT! Worked just fine for me. Reduced file in half without compromising quality on website. Thank you so very, very, much. Appreciate your help.

I'm hoping someone can help - my issue is the opposite, that I want to STOP Audacity reducing the file size. Even when I just clip the silence off the end of a song (about 10 seconds) the file size it reduce by about half. So is there a way for Audacity to allow you to edit a file without it reducing the file size?
Thanks in advance

[@omprakash540]

can you send a tutorial how to reduce the size of a .wav song.

[@Mouiylus]

how do i get an exact file size?

[@dramaqueenlp]

so you mention that you can reduce file size on already recorded files, but then you never talk about it.... thanks....
