Re: making a cd

By default Windows Media Player creates "data CDs". You need to set Windows Media Player to create an "audio CD". (I don't use Windows Media Player so I don't know where that setting is, but it will be in the settings somewhere. Alternatively you could use a different program to ...

Re: Importing AC3 5.1 In Audacity vs FFMPEG

To clarify: My confusion is because of your question in the other topic: "I have come across a 16-bit audio track that is being compressed with a medium quality variable bitrate compression to 198 kbps with shaped dither on and 220 kbps with dither off. How can this be explained in terms of Aud...

Re: how do i make this

You could try the "Repeat" effect on a short selection in the middle of the word and set a large number of repeats. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/repeat.html Then use the "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift" effect on the entire track to make the pitch gradually go down a fe...

Re: Importing AC3 5.1 In Audacity vs FFMPEG

You're painting a very different picture to what your other post suggested.

How are you doing that? What is the the original format, what is the final format, and how are you accomplishing the transcoding?

Re: Audacity appears to be increasing the bit rate?

It also remains that MP3 encoding is not exact. VBR encoding aims for a "quality" within a set "range" of bit rates, and works out the exact bit rate on the fly. I've found that dithered audio is usually a couple of percent larger in VBR MP3 than not-dithered audio, but that is n...

Re: How to make an online radio?

Your question seems to have little or nothing to do with Audacity. This forum is essentially for help with Audacity.

There are multiple ways to embed audio in web pages. Try some Google searches, for example:
"html embedded audio"
"how to podcast"

Re: Importing AC3 5.1 In Audacity vs FFMPEG

Before I saw this post I replied to your other question here: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=209843#p209843 However there are a few points relating to your specific job so this is addition to my other reply. - How could "dithering" lead to input needing a lower bitrate when ...

Re: Audacity appears to be increasing the bit rate?

I'm sorry to resurrect this old thread, but regarding this issue No problem - you could have started a new topic, but your question is related to this topic and I don't think that it has been covered already. I have come across a 16-bit audio track that is being compressed with a medium quality var...

Re: Silence button

What / where is the "Silence" button? Audacity does not have anything called a "silence button" so I'm unsure what you mean.
