I am recording a podcast with 2 other hosts. We just completed our first "pilot" and it was about an hour and 30 minutes. When I go to mixdown the entire session I use the following settings:

Format: MP3 Audio

Sample Type: 44100 Hz, Source Channels, 32-bit

New Sample Type: 44100 Hz Stereo, 32-bit

Format Settings: MP3 96 Kbps CBR

Mixdown Options: Entire  Session, Master (Stereo), Embed Edit Original link data

My files are coming out at 123 MB in size. At that bitrate I was expecting around 67.5 MB. I'll be over my allotted upload space in no time if 123 MB is correct.  Please confirm if this correct or not.  Thank you.

    Convert your 32 bit file to 16 bit when mixing down.

    Ah, the one thing I didn't look up. Made sense once I saw all those other bit rates available. Thank you very much!
