Thanks Should my friends and I save our individual tracks as wavs before mixing the whole file into an MP3?

Good tutorial. Thanks :) I have a couple of co-hosts who record with me over Skype, then I edit the whole podcast together into one file. Should we save our individual tracks into a .wav file before editing them all together into an MP3? You said amplify to -1 after recording and mixing. You meant A...

What should I set the track to when saving it as an MP3 with soundtrack music (like intro/outro music)? Still mono?

How do I do all that? And thanks.

After two years of having no time to get this done, I'm looking into doing the third episode of my website's podcast, as soon as I'm done with my surgery at the end of this month. First off, I've never once used 1.3, so I'm wondering if there's anything new I need to be aware of in relation to the q...

Well, I'm producing a podcast. I'm not 100% sure what equipment my cohosts have, but I'm using a Dell Studio 17 Laptop with a Plantronics headset to record.

What is the output level? I saw the term, but I'm not sure where it is located in Audacity.

And while I'm here, what should I set Audacity to when recording just people talking? Stereo?

Heh, sorry :p I had a Skype recorder, but I found I could make it sound better if I edited the tracks individually rather than if it came as one big thing.

Should I record with 1.3 as well, or just do the editing in 1.3?

Oh yeah, we all have Audacity. We record at the same time and then they send me their .wavs for editing, and I put them all together. Which, I'm not great at editing yet, but I'm learning.
