I just got my FIRST mac (macbook pro) after many many years of PC’s! I’m looking for a program that is similiar to Soundforge that I used to to use. I basically just need a program to compress audio for web. Any suggestions?

Cool - I downloaded the program. Is there a way that I’m missing to get in and control the compression of the audio if I really want to make it a tiny file?
