Advice on compressing AiFF to MP3's is OSX....

[James Dawson]

Hi Guys,

I just created my first composition using Garageband and would like to uploaded it to a site that features such work. But they have a 2mb limit and I can't seem to compress mine to less than 4mb! Any suggestions?

As always thansk for all of your help,

James

I had to mix it using Sony headphones so I am not sure if it will translate correctly to monitors or a home stereo yet!

Use the AAC encoder in iTunes set to the highest bit rate that will squeeze you in under 2 megs. It isn't gonna be pretty though...

Thanks! So higher bit rate = more compression and i assume artifacts.

no... LOWER bit rate = more compression and artifacts.
