Re: dumb question, sorry

Mix and Render will "mix" (add together) all of the selected tracks and combine them into a new track, deleting the original tracks in the process. In other words, the selected tracks are put into a mixing bowl, mixed together and then put back as a new track. A similar thing happens when ...

Re: Audacity Recording Freeze at 38m 47.5s: Win7

The only new discoveries that I have made are: An apparently "out of sequence" data folder structure can be created by discarding Undo History. I can set stupid numbers for "Minimum Free Memory", including zero, negative numbers, really small numbers and really huge numbers (1234...

Re: pulling voice

If you want a good, clear recording, the easiest way is probably to re-record with less background noise.

If you want to try noise removal, see here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Noise_Removal

Re: Audacity Stops Working While Exporting

It's a 3 TB drive, segmented into smaller, logical drives. With 2 TB free on the C: partition? :? When the export fails, all I see is a time elapsed/remaining window on the screen.

I don't think that you did post that before.
I presume that you mean the Windows system message "ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005)" or something similar?

I think that there are Windows binaries available that have MP3 support built in. Linux versions generally don't unless you compile it yourself, but yes, you could use LAME directly.
