Attached is a better quality version of the first sound. Can you understand what it says now?

Thanks!

Perhaps you are outputting at a higher bitrate than the original recording. Check your preferences.

I am also having a small problem here: I set the silence finder to find silence of a minimum of .08 seconds, less than .001 decibels. I attached an image. Notice that the silence was not detected, but a part that wasn't silent was detected. What gives? I also set it to put the marker 0s before silen...

I am trying to record from stereo mix by playing music through wmp and recording it with Audacity.

Does anyone know why Audacity creates lame (v3.97) mp3s around %10 larger than those made by MediaCoder for the same vbr level?

It also outputs mp3s which have incorrect duration readings.

When converting tapes/records to cd, how do you guys manage to set the volume level low enough so you don't get clipping, but high enough to get a good quality recording? There always seems to be a part of a tape or record louder than the rest that will clip, so I set the volume low. But then, the q...
