So what settings are you using when you export ? It sounds like you've set everything right up and that always makes bigger files.

Uncompresssed CD quality audio (44100 Hz, stereo, 16-bit) is 10 megabytes/minute, that's what you get when you export a .wav file. Try .ogg for a smaller size.

40 MB for 4 minutes sounds about right.

Welcome to the forum PaperNote! First, For you all important links:

When you export, you should consider for what you aim at. If it is for an upload on a music-service like soundcloud, they will compress to mp3 anywhitch.
