Assignment #8

Here’s one of my favorite and most useful programs. It’s a sound recorder and editor.

Goto http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

and Download Audacity 1.2.6. Install it.

Also Download a LAME file (lame-3.96.1) from

http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~raa110/audacity/lame.html

(Right Click-SAVE TARKET AS…)

Click to unzip and put it into the Audacity folder. This allows you to change what you record to MP3s.

Set Audacity to STEREO MIX

Goto http://bluegrassradio.org/new/index.php

And click on the Click To Play Broadband WMA (or one of the others)

When it starts playing punch the red button on audacity.

After you get a whole song stop Audacity, highlight the part you don’t want to keep and EDIT-DELETE that part.

Finally FILE-EXPORT AS MP3. Tell Audacity where the LAME file is (first time only). Name it and keep it.

Play!!

Hi,
I just wanted to say thanks! I started your assignment challenge last week and especially loved this one. I'd listened to a couple of tutorials about making mp3s. They sounded so complicated. Your assignments really are as easy as 'play.
Much appreciated - I don't want to be a techie, I just want to use the stuff!
