Size matters

[Dakonblackblade]

Ok hi.Thx to all these guys out there making audio commentaries for their share of thoughts and game analysis.I play wc3 2 years now but im still a noob but with these ac and replays i got better and better.
I have a suggestion to make.
Some ac are just too big ,and since you host them at rapidshare.com downloading speed is sometimes lame.So try to make them small.
Now how can this be done?(Because i cant listen to lotus and drzap and yrch works 26megs size files with 3kb/s from rapidshare takes 2 hours)
I have a suggestion.When you covert the audio to mp3 or whatever, keep the bitrate low(?).128 kbps is not needed.The only thing we hear is your voice so 44 kbps or 64 kbps should be fine.Pls try this out yourselves .
Im anxious to listen to more of your acs continue your fine work.(hey i cant sleep unless i listen to one of these).


And a shoutout to enowe for his nice work.
What the hell, a shoutout to everyone in wcr (members and staff) thx 4 all

My files are usually around 2-3 MB's. You should have no problem downloading mine. Rapidshare is a peice of crap, and thats why i host on an ftp. My first audio is at rapid share, but i chould put it on an ftp if u wanted. Please try downloading from there.

For all the people that use Audacity, this is how you make your audio smaller.

How to decreas the file size when your using Audacity.

Go to file(top left)
then preference.
Then quality.
change the default sample rate to 22050hz
change the default sample format to 32-bit

After that go to
file formats
-bit rate 24

then go to spectograms
-change the fft size to 64
and maximum frequency(hz) to 8000

that should probaly help make the audio smaller.

@ Yrch

I've never listened to your audios, but if you're at 2-3 mb, your quality must really suck. a half hour audio should be something like 8 mb to have decent qual.
