I'd also like to know what's the best (or any) lossless audio compression process/tools.

My application is to send audio (podcast recordings) to a remote audio engineer friend who will do the post processing, then round trip it to me to complete the editing.

Wav is so big it makes a 1 hr podcast a difficult proposition.

MP3 is unsuitable because compression introduces too many artefacts the quality suffers unacceptably.

What do other people do in this circumstances?

1 hour of CD quality mono FLAC encoded is about 100-150 MB. Is that small enough?

Well, I'm using a Rodecaster in multi-channel mode with 3 mics so an hour is more like 450MB.

FLAC and ALAC can be losslessly converted to back to WAV and cuts the file size in half.
