Audacity Forum

Below is a summary of the workflow that I use to get my Audacity Projects (LP and tape transcriptions and material recorded off-air from FM radio) into iTunes as AAC files. There are many other ways to achieve the same ends, but this method has been working reliably and well for me for quite a while...

3. Import the WAV files into iTunes Wouldn't the files come in the way you encoded them (as AAC), not as .WAV? Or are you talking about the bit rate that shows up in the iTunes column? If so, then same question, wouldn't the bit rate be the import bit rate? No. Bear in mind that I am only exporting...

For Step 6. In order to edit the metadata for Song Name etc - the album is easy to locate as I have already edited the Album tag in Step 4 above. I didn't follow this, WC. Did you mean your original file's label edited in Audacity, then imported to iTunes? Nothing in step 4 discusses editing in iTu...

Curious as to why you don't use Apple Lossless Encoder, which is VBR and supposedly just as space-efficient as AAC and less 'lossy'. I was under the impression that the ALE lossless encoder occupied more space than AAC or MP3 (my ex-boss rapidly filled fhis iPod when using Apple lossless - so that'...

Or if you can get the MP3 files off the player and onto your PC - find converter software to convert from MP3 to WAV (Google is your friend ...)

Without a more inormative diagnosis - including the vn of Audacity you used and the hardware in play - we can't really help you much.

I haven't made myself clear. I can record LPs, tapes, etc. just as I did on my old machine, by using a little analog to digital box that terminates in a USB plug. My problems are with recording sound that comes into the computer from the Web, such as streaming radio. On my old machine, I selected &...

It sounds to me as though you recording is in mono compared the the "other" recoredings which are clearly stereo - and if not mono you certainly have a very narrow "sound-stage". Have you got your Audacity preferences set up correctly to record in stereo? When you say other peopl...

I'm surprised - I used to run an ION ITT-USB a while back and for vinyl I never had to turn down the gain control (I did for a couple of cassette tapse though curiously) and it recorded absolutely fine without clipping. Are you sure you've got it turned all the way down and not all the way up? Can y...
