Re: Save compressed copy...useless?

Re: lame for 1.3.8 ?????? I need EXPORT AS... mp3

Is it possible you're just looking in the wrong place? File > Export > Export As... (on the bottom). Did you download a new lame library with the new Audacity, or are you trying to use the old Audacity 1.2 lame. This should be the correct one. http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows Koz

Re: Audigy Platinum Sound card with phantom powered micropho

I wouldn't be surprised if they made you turn off the sound card's phantom power. See bottom illustration here... http://www.kozco.com/tech/audioconnectors/audioconnectors.html I would not want the AT phantom 48VDC getting mixed up with the sound card's 5VDC. That's the compulsive engineer talking, ...

Re: Stereo tracks playing in left channel only

Re: Sample Rate, Sample Format, and Storage Size in Recordin
