multitrack recording & mixing just takes a lot of space. i'm afraid you
might just need more disk space. luckily, 45gig/7200rpm drives are about
$170 these days, so it's not really all that expensive. 

depending on which platform you're using, shorten (linux/win/mac?) or
monkey's audio (win only) might be useful to you-- true lossless
compression.

take care
