How to Export a Voice Recording On Mac OSX

Post by megzter3 » Tue Sep 28, 2010 3:44 am

I have a music soundtrack and then recorded my voice as a second track on the same project but for some reason I can't save (export) the project as an MP3

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I've exported recorded voices before, I'm wondering if the problem is that there are two tracks in one project? Do I need to layer them some way?

Please help! I need this finished asap!

Have you installed the LAME MP3 encoder according to the instructions on this page?

MP3, oddly enough, is licensed software. It's money-based, so Audacity can not include it in the basic editing package. You have to install extra software as a separate event.
