I find that WavePad Sound Editor Master Edition (now available for $70),
does an excellent job. https://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/index.html
One thing nice about this software is that you can put a portable version
on your thumb drive. (Remember your password! Don't tell anyone.)
It is a little tricky to get it working. Get the trial version. You may
get a discount if you wait until the expiration date or shortly
there after.
When you start the program, click on Compress on the fourth row. Then
click on "Simple" if you need to. You then have to choose several values.
Unfortunately, I do not remember my choices. Maybe they were deleted when
I got a new computer.
