Traktor - Mix Memory Usage
View this Thread in Original format
Dave Albert
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. :D
Flowtation
or use AudioCatalyst 2.10 and compress to mp3 at 192 bitrate
Trypsin
Or be a real man and use LAME to make an mp3 that doesn't sound like crap.
djdawn
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.
Dave Albert
Tnnx a lot. Yeah, bringing to mp3 brought it down to 65 megs. thnx for the software.
djdawn
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.
