Omar, no wav file could possibly be 3 gigs. Describe how you are doing the export?

After the mix down, the file becomes a wav file, but it's an enormous file, (over 3 gigs.) I'm sure I'm doing something wrong when exporting. Then, when I go to open it in sound forge, I'm getting an error message that says something like "make sure the read only is enabled for this file, (I do have wav checked in the file types.) Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks. Omar Binno
