Recording/Resampling audio

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.  

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 


I mentioned this in a comment but I'll say it formally here as well...
"..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.""

  1. Hi, thanks for the info. I'm assuming that this means that we should record straight to mp3 rather than wav? Would you recommend 64, 128, or 256 kbps?
