Windows Sound Recorder can send the recorded data on-the-fly through a
codec for compression. Obviously if you are planning on editing the
audio, you're best recording in a non-lossy format.
If you're recording off a cheap mic, you can probably record at a much
lower bitrate/frequency using only mono. Everytime you drop any of the
previous, your filesize will drop. This should make the uncompressed
file much smaller.

I recorded a one hour audio session using windows
Sound Recorder for a friend
and much to my chagrin and my friend's dismay, the Audacity edited file is
over 400M!
This friend is now telling me that in the past when the same one hour
recording session was done the file size never exceeded 27M. I do not doubt
them, but I have no idea how to reduce/compress this wave file.
If someone knows how I can reduce this one hour wave formatted session to a
file size of 27M, please let me know.
Thanks
