Why Do Burned Songs Come Out So BIG???

[Ultimate Dj]

Heylo,
Everytime I bounce and burn my SNG files when I load them into my Library they come out huge! I mean lyk take a 3 min song and its like 12 megabites! and I'm just wondering why the come out so mega big?

and also whats the difference in the speeds of the burning process? I mean I know that 24 is faster than 4x but does it effect the quality?
Thnx guys!

You know they're not MP3 format, right? 12 megs is not big for a .wav file. CDs can hold about 700 megs worth.

Are you saying that after it Converts them and Burns them onto a CD their not in MP3 format? Hmmmm...Thats news to me. Is there anyway to make them MP3 format? Cause I only have so much space on our mp3 players etc....
thnx

I guess you'll have to do it in your computer. Copy the WAV file to a usb/cd and then convert it in your comp.

P.S. I know what you're thinking... such an expensive keyboard and it doesn't deal with mp3 files...

No, these machines don't have Mp3 converters onboard.
Audacity will do it for you.

CDs aren't mp3 format! The two formats are completely different. CDs are higher quality; mp3s are compressed.

I'm curious, since this may be a generational shift: have you ever loaded an audio CD into your computer, to transfer to your mp3 player?

i thought a 3 min stereo song would be about 32 mega at48khz or about 30 mega at 44,1 khz, are you sure about "your" 12mega?

Yes, you're correct.....
44.1k sample rate * 16 bits * 2 channels ~= 1.4mb/s ~= 1.75kB/s

One minute is about 10 Mb

Thank god it's NOT mp3!
Seriously: it would be nice to be able to decide wether to bounce in wav or mp3 - but if I have to choose between the two the uncompressed wav is definetly first choice.

Um dude thats all I do! I think I'm missing what else one could do?
And when I said that a 3 min song is about 12 Megabites I was only saying generally and I was talking about once I load it into my Computer. In The Oasys it is much bigger obviously. But once in my comp its gets smaller but still bigger than any regular song i have.
