Mp3 Export Full of Artifacts

Post by beejpipes » Tue Sep 28, 2010 10:45 pm

I am crazy about the new version of Audacity -- really raises the bar. One problem I have encountered using the Lame Mp3 Exporter -- the results are so full of digital artifacts akin to pitch change or radical noise removal as to be unusable; sounds like I have re-pitched the whole thing through a 1988 Eventide. Running the .wav exports through a standard freeware converter continues to produce excellent, transparent results.
