Hi all, I need a really big favour done. I have a .wav file (it’s a loop, that’s 1mb) that I want to make smaller, and into mp3 so it’s small in Flash. I tried all of the wav to mp3 conversion tools, but they ALL leave a gap in front and behind the new .mp3; so the new loop, when looped, has gaps in the middle. Can someone who has a pro Sound edditing program (Such as Acid Pro stuff, that can accurately edit/convert sounds) please convert this file for me? Since I Paid for this loop (dun dun dun), I don’t want to just post it out in the public here. So someone who has a program that can convert, please PM me =) Thanks a lot =) ---

You can import it as wav, and then export as mp3 when you export your flash file. Why do you need to convert it? ---

The current wav file is 1.2 megabytes. If i Import it and export it, it’s going to be HUmoungous. And if i shrink down the size of the wav when exporting in flash, it’ll be really bad quality. But with mp3, it’s more compressed. Smaller file size doesn’t mean bad quality… ---

Here’s what you do: Import your wav into your flash, in the library right-click on it and select export options, choose mp3 and the bitrate and stuff and you’re done! 🙂 ---

> [@dropkick](#): > > have you tried using audacity? That’s always worked pretty well for me. I was gonna ask the same thing 🙂 I got it last night to pump up the volume (haha) of some songs I recorded that sounded real low. It was easy, and amazingly enough, totally free. I love it.
