I have one negative performance comment. You have fluffs and word mistakes in that clip. There are instances where you pause at the wrong place while you search for a word or phrase or duplicate a phrase. The whole object of editing is so the mistakes never ever make it to the client. I hate the wor...

You can't use the Mic-In on a laptop for stereo recording. Instead you may use a Stereo to USB adapter like the UCA-202. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo.jpg Or, yes, if the USB connection on your mixer is for sound, then plug it into your laptop, wait a bit for the negotiat...

I don't think Audacity has a tool that does that. among other reasons, we have to be able to do it in Windows, Mac, and Linux and that would be a nightmare. Koz

MP3 is a delivery format. It's the last step in the production process, not a step in the middle. MP3 damage is one of the sure ways to kill your show. Koz

Yes, but you're not going to like the work. Install Audacity and the "lame" software from the Audacity download web site. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Open your show in Audacity and File > Export > Format: MP3 Files > Options: 128 What you're going to get is a show with all the origin...

You mean MP3 the video format? MP3's real name is MPEG1, Layer 3. It's an early video format. It conforms to video boundaries and timings. It's not infinitely variable like WAV. It's still true, never do production in MP3, but I don't see how you're going to avoid it. You might be able to get the MP...

First layer we need to find out if you do anything weird and wacky. Do you have and use SoundFlower? Do you have other provision to record internet audio? Do you have and use Skype? Check the Audacity Device Toolbar (microphone and speaker symbols) and make sure the Built-In Output or Built-In Speak...

If your computer runs Vista, I'm going to assume that you have a CD burner.

If the computer is an upgrade, it's very possible it's not a writable drive. That was my first thought when so many different services and programs failed.

Or, as you point out, it is a burner, but it's broken. Koz

People who shovel bushel baskets of effects into Audacity usually regret it. One badly written plugin will turn Audacity and your show to trash. Then, while Audacity is lying there in a pool of blood, you get to figure out which one of the plugins did it.

There's a time waster.
