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
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.
