Re: Opening Sound Device

Check in the Windows Control Panel that there is at least one recording device enabled (preferably the one that you want to use)

Re: mp3 export

Does anyone know where it is safe to get this encoder? Yes, follow the links in the main Audacity web site. I would highly recommend that you upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12 before you install Lame. Audacity: http://audacityteam.org/download/ Lame: http://audacityteam.org/help/faq?s=install&i=lame-mp3

Re: Compare 2 files to discover audio delay

I don't think there is an "easy solution" after the event. The "easy solution" before the event is to use equipment that supports time code and to synchronise all of the equipment to the same time code clock - that's what time code was invented for.
