How many of you use Audacity?

ShadowMom	Date: October 21, 2006 @ 9:42 PM And if you do, are you having any problems uploading tracks? Do your lo-fi tracks stream or are you getting errors?
celtaidd	Date: October 22, 2006 @ 3:22 AM I use Audacity and FL5 no problems with either
Fraser	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 2:22 AM I use it sometimes... When editing samples, songs, mixes, and adding tags. Havent used it in a bit though...
EvalLin	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 1:20 PM I do...simple and easy...I like to create my own samples with it, i'll record some vocals or guitar and add fx's and cut them up till they sound electronic
ChillinBuzz	Date: October 23, 2006 @ 2:28 PM I think the better way of wording it would be "Do you use Audacity to encode your mp3 tracks?" - I know nothing about it as I don't use it, so excuse the apparent ignorance It seems quite a few tracks made using it are not uploading properly. At first I thought it might be to do with tracks ending in ".MP3" rather than ".mp3" and this was true for one case, however, upon analysing the file data, the CRC for the affected files read "no"...
Rodrica	Date: October 24, 2006 @ 4:51 AM I use it encode mp3 and my lo-fi doesn't stream. My track ended ".mp3" However, before the re-design I didn't have any problems and I was using Audacity then too.
Tman80	Date: October 24, 2006 @ 7:27 PM can you get audacity online?

bmccosar	Date: October 24, 2006 @ 7:55 PM I use Audacity. Actually my setup is sort of primitive. I'm not really much into electronic after-processing; probably that's why I'm still stone age. I use a Korg D888, mixdown to a .wav, zap it over via USB, and only use Audacity to whack the various sounds of instruments being shuffled / picked up / banged before the count, and to occasionally roll off the volume at the end. (I'm not the best fader surfer.) Audacity does the job. I really seldom encode to .mp3, though, preferring to archive with .flac and .ogg When the odd occasion has demanded, I go with lame.
Rodrica	Date: October 25, 2006 @ 5:53 AM In case this helps anyone come up with any ideas as to what the problem is... I uploaded another mp3 at a lower bit rate (192) and the lo-fi didn't work on that either. So it doesn't seem to matter what bitrate it is. (in my case so far 320 and 192). The version of Audacity I'm using is 1.2.3 - don't know if that makes any difference. And pre-redesign, Audicity was working fine for hi-fi and lo-fi at any bitrate
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: October 25, 2006 @ 6:44 AM Version 1.2.4b is the most current official release of Audacity and a beta version of 1.3 is available. Ensure that you have downloaded the lame encoder to encode mp3 within Audacity, version 3.96.1 is the most current version of lame encoder. search for file lame_enc.dll if this is missing, you will need to install it.. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
Rodrica	Date: October 25, 2006 @ 7:21 AM Thanks Leeds...that may be the problem, because when I encoded using ITunes the lo-fi and hi-fi worked just fine
jack	Date: October 25, 2006 @ 10:56 AM It looks like this is a problem with the Mac version of LAME. It is giving an invalid CRC value and causing our lo-fi encoder to panic and fail.
Rodrica	Date: October 25, 2006 @ 3:59 PM I use a Mac So what would DM recommend I use for encoding? ITunes is ok, but I'm not all that happy with the quality of some of the mp3s that it produces. Any suggestions?
jack	Date: October 25, 2006 @ 6:50 PM Try an earlier / more recent version of LAME. Sometimes during development things are overlooked and it breaks things elsewhere in the code (We know this all too well at DMusic!) I don't use a Mac personally, so I can't recommend any alternative applications. You might want to talk to some of the other Apple users here and see what setup they use.
