Re: Sound Engineering Help

<<<maybe maybe not>>> Remember we're comparing this to recording in a dining room or bare-walled third bedroom.

Re: Is Audacity the best program for my application?

<<<1. What is the bitrate equivalence between MP3 and WMA?>>> There isn't one. They're based on very different technologies. Windows Media is much the newer and based on MPEG4/h.264 compression algorithms and technologies. MP3's real name isn't "MP3." It's MPEG1, Layer 3 and it's over 20 years old....

Re: Sound Engineering Help

Thanks for the replies, and sorry for not responding sooner. So, basically, the "magic" is really in a good recording environment, rather than in post-production. I just may see if the church will let me record there. Thanks! (Although, in a professional studio, what exactly is that guy/gal at the ...
