GB will store everything on-disk as AIFF because decompressing dozens
of tracks at once would be a bit much for your average iMac :-) Why not
use Audion instead? You can use that to record to disk as an MP3 file
and then burn to CD. Then you get the best of both worlds; little disk
space usage and great spoken word sound quality.
(No, I don't represent Panic in any way; it's just that Steven from
Panic created NewTen and gave it to us for free, so I feel as Newton
users we owe them a product purchase or two)

I think you have to install GB on your startup disk, but you can remove
or relocate the loops folder afterward, which is what takes up most of
GB's disk space.
