Audacity Forum

I am a dance studio owner... I use Audacity for ALL of my cutting needs. Last week, I needed to take out the vocals of a song and I did so successfully. However, ever since I did that, my output MP3s sound like CRAP. They sound as if they are miles away in a bucket. I feel like I've tried everything, but you guys are the experts, so what can I do to get it back to sounding normal??? I have about 40 songs that I need to save as mp3 by tonight and I'm stressing out (My big show is tomorrow!!)...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My first thought is, have you checked that you're not saving the MP3s at a lower bit rate than usual? Anything less than 128kbps for music starts to sound pretty poor.

OH MY GOSH!!! It worked!!! How did I NOT catch that???? Who knows... but it's fixed.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

You saved me alot of frustration and anger... my family thanks you!
