Help with editting/shrinking audio files
For the interview with Dr. Heist it was recorded as m4a. It's ~1 hour long and 24 megs. Is there anyone out there that can help me 1) Compress it to smaller size 2) Edit it a bit?

I can help. I'm not an expert, but I have a mac with the right software. OtisSingle Malt Yinzer wrote:For the interview with Dr. Heist it was recorded as m4a. It's ~1 hour long and 24 megs. Is there anyone out there that can help me 1) Compress it to smaller size 2) Edit it a bit?

Re: Help with editting/shrinking audio files
I've been fiddling a bit with video compression software lately. It might work for your purpose if you (learn to) set the controls correctly. Documentation is sparse. Both of the following links should point to free downloads.

24mb for a 1hour interview is pretty compressed already. What size are you hoping for...?Single Malt Yinzer wrote:For the interview with Dr. Heist it was recorded as m4a. It's ~1 hour long and 24 megs. Is there anyone out there that can help me 1) Compress it to smaller size 2) Edit it a bit?
Also recompressing audio doesn’t work so well...
That said have a link? I can try
