Audacity Forum

I don't know the answer to the direct question here. I encode to AAC VBR - but I use iTunes to do it. I export WAV files from Audacity (back them up) and then import the WAVs into iTunes and use iTunes to convert to VBR AAC. iTunes does the conversion about twice as fast as Audacity! See this workfl...

I've been doing some work this morning on looking at the noise floor on my TT=>phono preamp=>passive switch=>USB soundcard=>PC recording chain. It's actually fairly quiet in normal use - but one thing that is readily obvious under extreme amplification is that the right and left channels have quite ...

AFAIK the path to 2.0 is likely to be only to fix the outstanding P2 bugs - see: http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=p2 I think the intention is to make no further functional changes until these nasty bugs are nailed; so what to expect is 1.3.14 with the bugs fixed. You're not t...

I sue 128 for my spoken word files For music I would use a minimum of 192, but these days I personally use 256 which I find very ...

The tutorial I pointed you at earlier in this thread tells you all I know about the subject - but I am an XP user on both my PCs so my W7 skills are somewhat limited (restricted to experimenting on my wife's laptop).

My wife's new W7 laptop could not be configured to record from the soundcard now matter how hard we tried with Audacity. So she bough the TotalRecorder package to make the recordings and does her other processing in Audacity. TotalRecorder cost her around $18 - yo can get it from here: http://www.hi...
