Re: How do I change the bitrates of many .mp3's at once?

"Convert/Save" from the Media menu, then follow the instructions. VLC is probably the least good of the three programs for bulk processing, but it should be able to do it. Just try it out on a couple of small files first before you start loading dozens in at a time. Foobar2000 is an excell...

Re: Post Recording Echo

when I open the wav files in 1.3.9, they sound worse than in 1.2.6. A lot of crackling. In Audacity 1.3.9 (Preferences > Devices) try switching between "DirectSound" and "MME" to see if one gives better results (probably DirectSound). If that makes no difference, try changing th...

Re: Using Audacity on Asus EEE PC 901

It's good to know that Audacity actually works on an EEEPC + USB sound card. Makes a nice, portable, high quality recording solution.

Re: Click Track Issue

No, the BPM is an integer value (whole numbers). One way round it would be to make one bar at 146 bmp and a second bar at 147 bpm, then use "Repeat" (about half way down the effects menu) to make the number of bars that you need. This will probably be close enough as there will be no beat ...
