Recording/Resampling Rates

Just so we’re all on the same page about what we use for recording and how we do recording…one caveat is that this is Mac-centric b/c most of us use macs.

1. Recording Software – Audio Recorder (make sure you install lame mp3 library)
2. Resampling Software – iTunes LAME
3. Editing Software Free – Audacity for mp3
4. Multi-track recording and editing Free Ardour / Jack for Firepods
5. Multi-track recording and editing Paid – ProTools
We use a program called iTunes-LAME at the recommendation of Mosaic b/c of podcasting purposes. we use the following setting: -v -V 6 -m m -h –resample 44.1. their technicians recommended this setting for podcasting b/c it makes the playback better. the file ends up being about 1/2 the original size.
You can record in either .wav or .mp3 format.  I usually do .mp3 in case i need to give it to someone right away.

    I have a question: Is the software LAME because you are using a Mac?
