<<<Paid performers? Don't know what church you go to.>>> "Or have higher stature..." Don't cherry pick. "Simple audio recordings" are usually nothing of the sort. Without basic audio chops, all sorts of things can go wrong. We will be walking into a training session this afternoo...

Did you get the lame software from the web site associated with the version of Audacity you downloaded? One of the Audacity versions took a specially tuned lame for best results.
