www.soundrangers.com gives you the option to download purchased sound files in any number of formats and quality. The smallest size (lowest quality) version they produce and .aif file is the 8k/8bitrate. I have a message into the Sound Ranger people how they accomplish such a small .aif file. Any additional feedback would be great!

Yes, I'm aware of the uncompressed nature of the .aif file. The 8khz is essentially "AM Radio" quality. However, there is also a bitrate element that comes into play. It is possible to set the bitrate in other audio applications, but I can't seem to find it in this application.

I have some small sound files that are an 8k sample rate and an 8 bitrate. However, when I edit the sound file (they are all .aif files and need to stay that way) and save it with an 8k sample rate, the file doubles in size. I don't see a way to set the bitrate in the WavePad software. It looks like it is converting it from 8 bit to 16 bit. Can anyone help?
