Re: WAV. to MP3?

Another reason not to "help" the software is that iTunes native compression isn't MP3, it's AAC, unless you changed it in preferences.

Re: WAV. to MP3?

WAV files are large, uncompressed and undamaged. That's the production format. That's why the Zoom produces WAV files for further editing and production. MP3 is a delivery format. It's the last thing in the chain usually for posting on your web site or emailing to your mom. MP3 gets its small file s...

Re: Will a normal USB microphone work?

And most of that weight is in the base to keep it from falling over--if you got the same one. Ribbon and dynamic microphones have permanent magnets inside, but electret microphones don't need to weigh very much at all. They make great lavalier microphones you clip on your collar.

Re: Cross Fades

At first pass, you can cut and create a fade all on one line. Zoom in so you can accurately select your deletion points and press Delete key. Then select the envelope tool--middle tool from the six pre-programmed tools in the upper left. Looks like up and down arrows and a bent blue line. Click once...

Re: Isolating Specific Sounds – Is It Possible?

Depending on the character of the shot, you may be able to take the waveforms apart and find the actual impact which will (or should) be a lot louder than the surrounding noise. However, you're never going to recover the aftershock, impact hangover, and echoes. Those will vanish in the game trash. S...

Re: Aud Files can't be played!

You can't move parts of a Project. It's one of the downsides of the way Audacity saves Projects.

Re: Can't record and listen to something at the same time

You didn't type the words: "I followed the instructions on the wiki page." so I'll assume you didn't see it.

Re: auf files?! - urgent question

Audacity doesn't Save sound files. It Saves Editorial Production Environments. To get a nice stand-alone sound file you can email to your mum, Export As WAV for a perfect show sound file, or Export As MP3 for a compressed file.
