leelap Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I split a 28 MgB mp3 into two files in order to have smaller files to upload to another application. The resulting two mp3 files were 25 & 24 MgB respectively...I was expecting two of about 14 MgB. What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris75 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hello leelap, when you save a file in WavePad, the program encodes the audio file again applying the best encoding possible to achieve a good audio file. Is while the new file is encoded that the size varies, and it ends up being bigger because of the encoding process WavePad applies to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelap Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks Chris...is there any way to adjust the encoding process so that I can get two files the size I need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris75 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 The only way would be adjusting the bitrate to a lower setting, but keep in mind that lower bitrate would also mean a lower quality on the file created. At this moment there is no option in WavePad to create light files with good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
