Re: Headphone recommendations wanted

I'm a fan of the Sennheiser's... I currently have 2 pairs of them... The big ones: HD-595 - the older 120 ohm version, now they make it in 50 ohm version, but I haven't tried those so I can't tell how much they differ. I'm not sure how much I paid for them, it has been a few years ago... I think may...

Re: How to make PWD directory the default?

Well... I prefer vim :P Audacity is a graphical app. I wouldn't consider opening it from the command line with filename as argument to be the typical use of it.

The system periodically cleans up the folder /tmp (the files there are supposed to be temporary so the system regularly cleans them up so no "lost dead remains" stay there taking space... Maybe it was a long period of time between recording and when you tried to save your project and the f...

Re: USB mics

More than one usb mic connected to the same computer at the same time is usually regarded as trouble maker... Specially in windows, according to many testimonials, that's strongly discouraged...

Re: wav file size

What audacity version are you using? In which operating system? Describe in detail the steps you made to export the wav file and what steps did you change when exporting as mp3.
