Re: How do you shrink an audacity file?

WAV files can be reduced in size by about 50% with no loss of sound quality by converting to FLAC format, but I don't think iTunes supports Flac without a bit of messing around. If you don't mind a bit of sound quality loss you can use iTunes to convert the WAV files to MP3 or AAC, then put your per...

Re: which effect to compress spikes, not surrounding audio?

Re: which effect to compress spikes, not surrounding audio?

The best solution is to avoid snorting into the mic. :) If the microphone gets blown on, this will usually cause a big surge in low bass frequencies.

I've checked and your service provider is NOT blocked by this forum and never has been. If your IP address is blocked elsewhere I don't think there is anything that we can do about it.
