I currently use Audacity to record speeches and sermons to my computer via a mixer. I find that the files are huge. For example, a 104 minute sermon was approximately 5gb. I recorded the Audacity file using Microsoft Plus! Analog Recorder and the entire file size was only 58mb. What is the difference. Are there any settings that I should change in Audacity.
I must admit that I am fairly new to digital recording, and don't know much about sample rates and other settings.
Also, I know that eventually I will have to stop using nickle and dime software. (No offense to Audacity). Are there any suggestions for a good all in one programs.
Thanks
