Re: How to save smaller file sizes in wav or mp3

The "problem" was that your WAV files are not really WAV files, they are MP3 files with a ".wav" file extension. When encoding to MP3 there is a trade-off between file size and sound quality. For low quality and small file size, the MP3 should have a low "bit rate" (sma...

Re: FastTrack + Shure + Audacity = left channel only :-(

To record stereo you would need to use 2 microphones. 1 mono microphone (such as the SM58) will always be mono. If you only want to record from 1 microphone, use input 1 on the FasTrack (the three pin XLR input), set Audacity to record 1 input channel (mono) using the Device Toolbar http://manual.au...

Re: tracks skip

Is it just this one Audacity Project that you are having trouble with or do other projects all have the same problem?

Re: How to save smaller file sizes in wav or mp3

LC_2012_03_01.wav looks far too small to be an ordinary WAV file.
Try installing MediaInfo and use that to tell you what the file format is.
Alternatively, if you can upload that file to a file sharing site (such as sendspace.com) and post a link, then I'll have a look at it.

Re: records but garbled/distorted

Check to see if there is an output level control on the turntable itself. On some models there is a knob hidden on the underside of the turntable.
