Why is my Adobe Audition audio so large - 25GB? How do I fix this?

[rayanet67406737]

I have no idea why, but when trying to export my audio podcast (18.5 minutes) from Audition, it's 25GB file, with your average quality standards. When I tried to reduce the quality, you couldn't hear anything in the audio at all. It seems like it's saving or rendering all of my unedited waveform tracks that I used to culminate my multitrack but I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it. This is an assignment and this problem has made me way late in submission - help!

Do you really mean 25GB? That would seem to be impossible. The largest file size for uncompressed 32 bit stereo audio of that length would be in the order of  350MB. What format were you saving in?

Actually I am now saving a 5 minute song as a wav file and it it over 400MB.. how is this possible?
