Sound Compression

[The Snap]

Hi again gents,
I have got Goldwave, and have saved a sound file - but it's 10MB! I can't include that in a route can I!! :mad: How can I compress it, using Goldwave of another program, to get it to a more respectable file size?

Thanks for your help,

Open your file, File > Save As, and select a different format from the Attributes dropdown box. Take backups and use trial and error.

How did I know it would be Tom Beevers to reply to this...

Cheers Tom, will try that.

EDIT: Done, I managed to get them down to about 50kb!

Because BVE is far more exciting than Pure Maths!!

Tell me about it! (I'm in top set for maths, and don't even know what algebra is. What the f*ck is a simletaneous equation...? :mad: )

Simultaneous equations are a piece of excreted fluid once you 'get' them. Just rearranging and jiggling the equations around a bit. But then things always seem that way after you've been doing them for several years. Now the Binomial Theorem...

I know that :P... But get it wrong!

What school/colege do you go to mate? (I assume you live in Manchester, going of your avatar and name...) ?

There's hardly any maths in AS Physics though... just a bit using the suvat equations.

I am thinking of doing Physics at 6th Form, but I am not doing Maths! However, my Mum's friend who is a Computer Scientist says you can't do A level Physics without Maths.

AS physics is so damn difficult! Im dropping it for A2

Depends - if you're thinking of doing one of the sciences at Uni., you *really* need to keep up the maths. On the other hand, at least in my day (pre-Cambrian), you could do A-level Physics on O level maths, so you might be ok. Don't know what they teach you at GCSE these days though.
