Audacity and LAME

[5t3IIa]

Hi. I am using Audacity to slice the intros off tunes for my Pub Quiz blah blah.

So I've successfully sliced 28.5 seconds off a tune and faded it out

But to export the slice as an mp3 I must download LAME apparently. Audacity said so.

So I'm here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=290&package_id=309 I clicked latest, nothing happened and now I notice this 'LAME (Lame Aint an MP3 Encoder)' written at the top

I have reached the very reaches of my knowledge and confidence so please explain what's happening like you would explain it to your granny.

Thank you

It is an encoder, despite it's strange name!

you can send anything to me if you want it sliced or chopped or even put through mad effects (what song is this through a mad sound effect ) if you link me the mp3

Oh. I suppose I'm stuck on which version I should have and why the fuck the download isn't launching then!

Thanks matey but I have to learn to do this myself I mean I can do the chopping and slicing and that but I'm currently stuck on turning it into an mp3

That should help - links to binaries rather than source..

Your link are for someone who wants to build their own LAME library. You don't want to do that, you just want to install one that someone else has built.

I'm pretty sure the sourceforge project for LAME wasn't this ... err ... lame though - it used to have binaries I'm sure!

I'm downloading this now http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdexos/cdex_151.exe?download like literally without a care in the world.

 

[magneze]

Erm, not sure how that will help - try my link to the LAME install ...

am chatting with stella about it now, its waht i use for making pub quiz type music rounds.

 

[magneze]

Ah ok - but to get MP3 exporting working in Audacity you still need LAME.

 

[5t3IIa]

Wait wait - ivebeen - I already have Audacity to do the slicing and shit. I just want an encoder to turn Audacity project files into mp3s....

Please don't confuse me anymore - the quiz is on monday!

 

[magneze]

All you need is the encoder then.

 

[5t3IIa]

Got it. Cheers all

 

[ivebeenhigh]

we learnt a lot this evening stella didnt we? we did downloading and we even did renaming files!

remember this when it comes to leniency in the marking on Monday
