I don't know of any way to do that except to go into lame as a command line utility and do it that way, and even then, I don't know if it will let you select oddball rates. Here's the instruction page how to do that... http://linux.die.net/man/1/lame ...No, even that assumes the standard bitrates......

If you do try to overdub, do you get a new voice track? Is missing playback the only problem?

Audacity has been designed to run properly on all three computing platforms of relatively modest power. You do need an actual computer. NetBooks and smaller systems do not support Audacity without a lot more work than most people are willing to put in and even then, the results may not be so good. I...

Grown up music systems grew up that way for a reason. It wasn't that the companies wanted to spend as much money as possible. They were all solving specific problems. Three-wire, XLR type audio systems are the cheapest way to get long, perfect quality cable runs that you don't need an advanced degre...

<<<I guess it's a dynamic mic with a 1/4" jack so that answers my dumb question about all dynamic mics being xlr.>>> What kills you with those is the long cable run. They have the same problem as home music system cables. The first time you need to run between rooms or in difficult, noisy condi...

That's not why you use extreme data settings. 32-bit floating, seemingly a waste of bits is valuable during effects and processing when you need to dig up a very quiet performance out of the mud and there are still significant bits in the sound to do it. Some sound processing causes extreme variatio...

It's not clipping or flat-topping. That's serious data distortion. It's not just the spikes, either. Look at how some of the graceful up and down progression of the waves is interrupted like someone took a razor to it. Look about 5.150. That's apart from the spikes which are very serious. I'm just l...

I actually wrote that a while ago.. Plug one entire channel together all the way from the microphone thru the mixer and on to the computer and see what happens.

The trick is to get the software to put Near on the left and Far on the right of a capture recording. That way you can apply filters, corrections, and volume management to one side without messing up the other. Get them both correct, meld them into one track and Export. There are software packages t...
