Re: Is Lame MP3 codec is for personal or commercial?

If you're worried about it you can always download iTunes from the Apple website (free to download and use) - export WAV files from Audacity, import tme into iTunes and then use iTunes to convert to MP3. My understanding is that Apple has paid Frauenhofer Institute for a license for this encoder - s...

Re: Processing vinyl disks recordings using Audacity questio

I never bothered with noise reduction (or its predecessor Noise Reduction) when I made all my vinyl transfers. Like you, I found Brian Davie's default settings a little harsh, but I didn't tweak down as much as you - I settled on 30 rather than 20, and I did this after extensive careful listening te...

Re: REALLY basic: can't move cursor to select what to cut!

You have set the "Snap To" to on - see the bottom left corner of the Audacity window.

Re: Quick and easy crossfade

I'm liking the look of this too 8-)

So is this going to replace the existing Crossfade Tracks or do we need both tools?

Re: Final Burn and Importation to iTunes

First, I'm burning to a CD because that's how I want to permanently store them. Just be careful here then - be aware that unlike commercially pressed CDs the home-burning CD process is a photo-chemical one so you should keep them in dark storage away from sunlight (and I would also have duplicate c...

Re: Final Burn and Importation to iTunes

Why are you bothering to burn a CD - you can just export WAV or AIFF files and import those into iTunes (where you can concert them to compressed MP3 or AAC) - or you can export MP3 or AAC for direct import into iTunes.

Indeed - and that is why the ART device may be a better option as it does have a gain control knob 8-)
