Windows Sound Recorder can send the recorded data on-the-fly through a
codec for compression. Obviously if you are planning on editing the
audio, you're best recording in a non-lossy format.
If you're recording off a cheap mic, you can probably record at a much
lower bitrate/frequency using only mono. Everytime you drop any of the
previous, your filesize will drop. This should make the uncompressed
file much smaller.
