Traktor - Mix Memory Usage

Hi. I made an 80 minute mix with traktor and when I save to .WAV , it took up 850 megabytes! Thats way too much! I've never saved mixes to wav before. Is this normal. How do i get a codec(or pacth or whatever) to save to mp3? will it still take up so much memory? Any help is appreciated. THNX.

yeah 850mb is normal. i advise you to use something like audiograbber to convert to mp3 where it will take take up much less space.

or use AudioCatalyst 2.10 and compress to mp3 at 192 bitrate

Or be a real man and use LAME to make an mp3 that doesn't sound like crap.

and if you don't know what trypsin is talking about, go here:
www.r3mix.net

but you will not be able to save your mix directly to mp3.

Tnnx a lot. Yeah, bringing to mp3 brought it down to 65 megs. thnx for the software.

you converted from 850 to 65 meg? What bitrate did you loose, and what are your plans with that set?
Sounds like you used 96k/bps and that would lead to a noticeable loss of quality. I wouldn't use anything smaller than 128 or 160 for posting and VBR or 256 for archiving.
