### My output file is too large?
This is because the default output codec is PCM, which is uncompressed. If you want to reduce the file size, you can specify an audio codec with `-c:a` (e.g., `-c:a aac` for ffmpeg's built-in AAC encoder), and optionally a bitrate with `-b:a`.
For example:
```bash
ffmpeg-normalize input.wav -o output.m4a -c:a aac -b:a 192k
```
