I'm doing some recording and I'm fairly inexperienced at it. I'm using cakewalk express and just putting my guitar through a POD into my soundcard. Anyways, I'm looking to submit my latest creation to guitarwar. Anyone familiar with this site knows that it has a 550k max file size, and reaching this limit always kills me, while the pro guys there have 10 times the quality and a fraction of the filesize. My question is, how can I reduce my filesize?? Obviously I compress the .wav file to mp3 (at the lowest bitrate possible- 32 I believe) after I export it from Cakewalk, but besides this standard step I don't know how to compress it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or any if you could give me any sites where I could learn more about this, that would also be appreciated.
