I'm done mixing not even a full song, just 2 guitar tracks and it comes up to be around 60000kb+!!!!
I convert it from .wav to mp3, and it does change the size, however, all it is is NOISE!!!!
How can i safely compress the file to a regular size when exporting out of tracktion???
Export into audio file......WHY SO BIG?!!!

what sample rate and bit rate is the rendered file?

The number of tracks that make up the exported file doesn't affect its size! You could have another 50 tracks to add but when you export it, it'll still be the same size (assuming it's not any longer)
16 bit @ 44.1Khz = 10Mb per stereo minute
24 bit @ 44.1Khz = 15Mb per stereo minute
24 bit @ 96.0Khz = 34Mb per stereo minute
(All numbers approximate)
Lol

I draw the line at power tools for the under 5's.

Export your file at 16 bits. When I export at a higher bitrate, I only do that for mastering, then ultimately I save it down to 16 bits before converting to an mp3.

"regular size" is exactly what you've gotten.

60 MB is diddly.
You need a bigger HD.
My 32 FP/ 96 KHz tracks often top out at 300 MB.

I'm sick of kilohertz, anyway. I'm going to move up to 2.6 gigahertz sample rates, 512 bit, but I need the computer core from the Starship Enterprise before I can get started.AD80 wrote:Oh yeah? Well my 64bit float 768khz stereo mixdowns come in at 3 terabytes.

Seems like you're using a samplerate or bitrate above 16/44,1
At least your mp3-encoder can't cope with the file format. I had the same experience recently, when I accidentaly exported to 32bit wave. Result with Lame encoder was 32bit noizzzze...

I'm not sure if using an mp3 encoder to create 16bit from a 32bit file is the best option for sound quality... you might want to dither somewhere in the process. And either export to 16bit, or use an audio program to do the final touch...
Re: always at 16bit: You might record at 16 bit, but bouncing (processed) tracks is better at 24 bit. Disk space is cheap, and you have less risk of sound distorting. (Regardless of all discussions and threads about whether the difference is audible etc.: Diskspace is cheap enough not to make it an issue.)
