When you do that Split Stereo Tracks to Mono thing, you might find that you have one good music track and a static-y dead track. Then you can celebrate. One of the reasons we hate MP3 is you can't easily do production with it. MP3 gets its small files by slightly damaging the audio, usually in ways ...

Assuming you know how to do the basic editing.... Use a short crossfade (probably a few milliseconds). That is, fade-out the first part, fade-in the 2nd part , and overlap.

Hello, I made a recording the other day, I exported it as an mp3. When I opened the file in audacity later that day, I noticed that the top wave was blank and the bottom had sound waves, but the recording itself has a lot of static.. Can someone please help me fix this.

Thanks for the help! I'll try these out.
