I know it’s viewed as something that would be widely unpopular by trying to find the answer to my conundrum and finding old conversations, but I really need a mono option in my Audacity. So perhaps it’s been complicated past my user intuition and it’s still there? I did find the the “custom mix” option in the preferences thanks to an old post in this forum, but I’m left without being able to choose my hz. It also didn’t make sense to me; choose a channel.
Let me explain better. I am recording my lines for an audio drama. Audio dramas still use mono for the most part - I don’t know why. I’m sure it has something to do with artificial widening and mixing on their own terms. Anyway, the audio drama I’m recording for has been going since the 80’s which means I’m sure they know what they’re doing by now.
The requirements for my files are mono and 44100 hz. With audacity I used to have these options to set on export to mp3. Now I don’t. And I sincerely need them. And if I need them, scores of other voice actors need them.
So how can I export my lines in the options required with the latest audacity? I’m not a sound mix expert, so when I see these OTHER options I have no idea if they’re even close to what I need.
