Audacity Forum

Once you make an MP3, that's the end of the production, so yes, you would be doing all your work in WAV and make an MP3 as the last step.

DVDs can have several different audio tracks depending on how much room they had available during encoding. Are you trying to open the PCM track or the Dolby AC3? AC3 in a theatrical release is going to try to open into 6 audio channels. You claim to have decrypted the disk. It also sounds like mayb...

Anything you do with echo and reverb is going to sound fake and muddy. You can try splitting the top and bottom tracks and move the bottom track very slightly later than the top with the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows). That will make the tracks sound deep depending on how far you take i...

You can export a multiple channel WAV file. I've done it although it only plays reliably in Audacity. That used to be the one shining example why you needed to Export a Project. Not any more Audacity Projects will not save UNDO, so it's down to archiving a single WAV file versus the thousands of lit...

All the 10,000 resistor does is "settle" the voltages and currents in the microphone circuit before you plug the mixer in. If you don't do that, plugging in the microphone will put a brief hit of battery voltage on the audio line -- and it will go straight through the DC blocking capacitor...
