File size & uploading
This computer was the wife and kids domain until recently the kids grew up and moved away so I thought what the heck and tried my hand at trying to learn how to record some of my songs. Well through trial and error (lots of error) I've gotten a few songs done. When i mixed them down I used RIFFwav format because the cakewalk tutorial recomended that format for later burnning to CD.. Well now that I've discovered this site, I'd like to upload a song or two . I understand that to upload, files must be in mp3 format, so I opened a new project in cakewalk and then imported the mixed down file(in RIFFWAV format) and then exported it in mp3. Well I still get the uploading error message.. I understand the size limit is 10 MB for mp3 files so I guess i need to know if there is a way to compress this file or if I need to re-record the tune using less tracks and less plugins to make the file smaller????????????? Any suggestions

Are you using Audacity? An easy fix is to get a stand alone free converter like cheetah

Rule of thumb is 1 meg per minute so you can in theory upload a 10 minute tune though few are likely to listen to a song of that duration. Have you hit properties to see the actual size of your mp3 and to make sure it actually converted into mp3?

Hi Cliff
I use cakewalk also, when u convert to mp3 u have a choice for the quality, if u converted at 320kps then the file will be large, try converting at 128 kps that will give u a much smaller file

Hi Cliff again
yes u need the mp3 encoder, it is free with cakewalk, u just have to sign up for it, it will give u a code to enter, keep track of that code so u will always have it, the mp3 converter wont work rite without the encoder
