Subject: [Audacity-users] Can I save higher 
  quality output,&nbsp;   that I can
    import into 
  iTUNES?

I have MAC 
  10.4.10..&nbsp; (Not Intel),,&nbsp; I "think" I am running aud 1.2.6..
A 
  user for about a month..


Currently I import CD's into iTUNES at bit 
  rate 1411..&nbsp;  The problem&nbsp; 
is that after I save an MP3 from 
  audacity, then import the MP3, it is  
only 320 quality..

I 
  tried saving an AIF (or is it AIFF) file from audacity, but I was  
  
never able to get the AIF into iTUNES..&nbsp; Im looking for any  
  
suggestions on getting a higher quality into ITUNES..


SIDE 
  QUESTION:
If I make changes to the .aud file in audacity, then save again 
  as  
MP3, can I assume this regenerates the MP3 file again with no 
  loss?

Also, while editing, if I copy a waveform from an aud 
  waveform&nbsp; 
section, can I assume it will be aud quality and not MP3 
  quality (and  
the same for MP3 sections of waveform)..  OR AM I 
  CONFUSED: (maybe&nbsp; 
audacity finds an aud file even in the trash, and 
  pulls up audacity&nbsp; 
aud file, even though I double clicked the 
  MP3)?

yo, look on your audacity toolbar 
under&nbsp; edit, click preferences and file formats.


there on the bottom you can choose 
your bitrate for exporting mp3's.


usually a bitrate of 192 is high 
enough quality at a good compression ratio, but if ya want a noticeable (barely 
) improvement, try 256.


just click the little box that says 
bitrate:


this is for audacity 1.2.6 
only.



 


next...when editing, if the audacity 
program is set to default, whatever you copy when editing is 32 point wav file, 
or at DOUBLE the fidelity of cd.


mp3 is a compression method only and 
has nothing to do with recording with audacity (unless you import mp3's, that 
is)....your audio is going to be much higher fidelity than mp3.


it can;t be copied and pasted into 
other programs, however.


 


the rest of the 
question?


beats the F*** outta me, 
man....
