The wave files take up a HUGE amount of space. Can they be saved as mp3 or wma files instead?
Compressed audio formats, such as mp3, real-audio or wma, are suited for distributing audio files over the internet or in any situation when the size of regular wave files will make their transmission impractical. On the other hand this formats use lossy compression schemes, which degrade the audio quality, and so they aren’t suited for storing audio data when the sound quality must be kept as high as possible. For this reason (and also because on-the-fly decompression of compressed files will be way too heavy on the computer CPU) n-Track Studio doesn t support compressed file formats for recording or importing tracks, but it only allows conversion from finished wave files (i.e. created after mixing down) to mp3 and wma. 4.
