Audacity Forum

I'm new to all of this and am totally confused. I only just received my MBeat turntable and Audacity program which I updated to Audacity 2.x. My problem is twofold. 1> When I save the recored LP as a .WAV file and pla it back on Window (Vista) Media Player there is no sound?
2> I went to one site to try and get a copy of Lame MP3 recorder whic gave me a Conduit(?) site. However my antivirus program, McAfee, came up with a warniing about phishing so I aborted the download. Is ther anywhere I can get Lame MP3 safely?

When you "Save" in Audacity it creates an "Audacity Project" that only Audacity can use.
To create a normal audio file you need to "Export".

Audacity uses LAME for exporting in MP3 format. It is only required if you want to export in MP3 format.
See here for installation instructions: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/FAQ: ... g-Ins#lame


You may also find these "getting started" tutorials helpful: http://manual.audacityteam.org/manual/h ... rding.html

And this set of tutorials will likely be useful too: http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/man ... to_cd.html

And I'm assuming that it's a USB TT that you've got so especially look at this one: http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/man ... ables.html
