Default file size

I'm experiencing files that are typically 2.5 gig when a song begins to develop. This kind of file size is well beyond what I see with nearly any other program which leads me to ask if I am doing something wrong or is this normal?

Thanks for your input
Ray

Default Re: file size

I think you mean the whole session file: If so 2.5GB is nothing if you are doing allot of Wav. Audio in your songs. If you are only doing Midi that would be big, but IM going to assume you are recording allot of Wav. audio. Once I print all of my tracks and start Mixing with Automation I have Song Session Files as large as 4GB.
