Hi  I like this forum. So many interesting questions and answers. I haven't read every post so I am not sure if this has been up before, but...... I have been asked to make the music for a new online-adventure-game. No problem, love to do it, but HOW??? When I bounce down my arrangement it is usually 60-70 MB in waw-format. Way to big for the web. Mp3's can be used in a few places, but is also too big. Is there anyone who have experiences in compressing large stereo files down to "nothing" without loosing too much quality? I have just started to experimenting with Flash. Is there a better program? Do you have any good tips for me, please...?  *tearing out her hair*

Ok add9, do you want to stream your file? Or allow simple file download?
The best format to stream ATM is real... IMHO.
It's the better ratio size/quality, especially with video included, and it's supported on most platforms (reading only), at the olpposite of quicktime and crosoft things.
If you can't stream, like Filarion said, better convert the master mix in mono (hey, half the size here! Untill you use many stereo "effects"), and play with the rate (64kbps?) or VBR (variable bit rate). Toggle the settings by yourself, and hear the changes ;-)
Ogg is really nice, cause it's an open format (ie. no copyright, or such, like mp3), and it sounds great, but it's still not spreaded enough.
Hope this help. Bye.
