Exporting WAV

Post by rlindsay » Fri Apr 30, 2010 7:48 pm

Hi!
I need to know how to export a WAV file in Audacity that has a sampling rate of 22,050kHz and is a 8-Bit mono recording in a WAV file. I got the 22050 and WAV but not the 8 Bit. How can I convert it to an 8-bit mono recording?
Thanks
Ross

I think you need Audacity 1.3 too do that.

In Audacity 1.3.12;
Immediately before exporting, look in the bottom left corner of the main Audacity window and set the "Project Rate" to 22050.
Click "File menu > Export"
then select "Other Compressed Files" as the file type.
Click the "Options" button and select "WAV Microsoft" and "Unsigned 8 bit PCM".
Enter a name for the file.
Click on the "Save" button.
If the Metadata editor pops up, click "OK".

Oh. I posted in the wrong forum section . :-)
Anyway - In 1.3.7 what you said worked great!
Thanks a million for that fast reply!
