In Audacity 1.3, you set it at the export step which is probably where it should be. There are fuzzy rules about bitrate. 32 is ...

Re: USB turntable, clipping & mixer controls

Re: Please help- recorded mix will not load in Audacity

You are using Audacity 1.3.11, right? You posted in the 1.3 forum. Newer Macs do not support Audacity 1.2.

The computer has to be happy with the connection before Audacity has a chance. Audacity always uses the computer's own sound servi...
