Hi, Shirley, >From those stats you are recording at a sampling rate or 44khz and in mono. I don't know that particular sound-editing program, but somewhere there should be a dialog box wherein you can change the sampling rate. For the purposes of your recordings you could do just fine with 11l5khz and if it's for a web site and ya really wanna save space, record them in 8-bit rather than the usual 16-bit format. 8-bit's a bit noisy, but it may do. However rather than use .wav files, you may wanna see if .mp3 or some other compressed format will work. Jay
