Audacity Forum

Hi W.C.
Thanks for the primer. Yes, you no doubt have better equipment than I have.

Hi, Just to let you know that I was able to do the noise reduction on this large file, if I did it in three sessions, and by saving and closing Audacity after each session. Not good, but O.K. I'm wandering - Does Audacity poll the rate of performing these functions, like noise removal, and is closin...

Thanks,
Well you must have better hearing than I.
In any event - I was converting flv's to mp3s and that's how I got 64 kb/s.
O.K. I got the chicken soup analogy.
Is there a linear relationship between bitrate and file size?

Hi WC, I guess my system (windows me) doesn't give bitrates. However I downloaded a little app. which told me what you had suspected i.e. that the unedited mp3 was indeed 64 kbits/s. So, I guess that explains the increase in file size. Questions. 1) I can't tell the difference between the 128 bitrat...

Hi,
I don't see anything about bitrate??

Hi WC,

O.K. I'll give that a try.
Thanks...... john
P.S. I won't have any trouble finding a click. I'm copying from records that I've had for about a hundred years.

Thanks Steve, That's too freaky for words. Looks like something the scientists in a low budget horror flick would point to on their ghostometer as evidence of paranormal activity. I see what you mean though. But I don't think my machine is fast enough, because it doesn't seem to update the spectrum ...
