trouble playing after I export to wave file

Post by horsie » Tue Sep 29, 2009 3:27 am

Hi, When I record music on audacity and play back , The sound is very clear and sharp , then I export it to wave so I can write to disc with Nero . but the sound is distorted and scratchy when played on media player. Am I doing something wrong or is it normal. any help would be appreciated

horsie,

I'm thinking that if you take your exported wav file and import it into a new Audacity project, it should sound OK. If so, then check your project rate. For burning to a CD, it should be 44100.

Perhaps the elves will have further comments.

I hope this helps.
