Re: kbps ratios for saving files

I try to keep mine within a good range, but it is touchy. Exactly correct. I can explain pieces of this. The "board" or mixing desk is generally split in two. One split goes to the broadcast transmitter and through the legally required volume compressors and limiters. The other split goes...

Re: Problem With Lame

Isn't the Dynamic Library (dylib) for Macs? Are you sure you got the right Lame and the right Audacity?

Re: Problems Overdubbing (Sound cuts in & out)

The first thing I"d do is turn Windows Enhanced Services (conferencing processing) off. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#enhancements You are wearing headphones, right? You can't do voice overdubbing without headphones. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynon...

Re: kbps ratios for saving files

You change what you can. — The 128 quality of the station's stream is fixed. I don't see that changing any time soon because when presented with a perfect, completely undamaged show, it produces an almost perfect web stream with the smallest server cost. — If the delivery to the station is MP3, then...

Re: Setting up, how to record drums?

However, if your Windows Laptop doesn't have a blue Stereo Line-In, most likely, then there are other directions. So it's up to you to dig up tons more information about your system: type of computer and model number, sound card info, model numbers of the drum kit, etc. Pretend one of us wants to bu...

Re: kbps ratios for saving fils

I listen to a podcast talk show each week and I know they start with the original radio broadcast masters. It sounds perfect, but on some of the shows, they have an intro and commercial that was not part of the broadcast and they did it from multiple MP3s. It sounded nine-year-old kid awful particul...

Re: kbps ratios for saving fils

This whole conversion problem comes from you using MP3 as original work. If you can stop doing that, many of these quality problems will vanish. MP3 is a final step — delivery to the user for his iPod, not a step in the middle of production. Never do production in MP3. Each time you make an MP3, som...

Re: Default settings in Silence Generator

Most CD burning software adds two seconds between tracks by default. But can change it via a burn setting. This is the provision for operas which want to sound correct straight through with no gaps, but still have acts and chapters on the disk. So you may not have to burn gaps into the actual show....

Re: kbps ratios for saving fils

You can minimize the additional damage by saving at the highest bitrate you can. If you just make another 128 clip, it will have sound damage similar to 64. If you export 384 or higher, many people won't be able to hear the damage increase, but, of course, the size will go way up. If you're doing ve...

Re: stretching the end of an audio

Sure. If the song ends with one single long note, zoom in, drag-select a portion of the last note, copy and paste it into the song's end again and again. It will keep making that one long note longer and longer. Doesn't have to be at the end, either. You can paste just before the end and the new not...
