Audacity

I can no longer export music using the Lame-3.96.1 encoder. I was able =
to do this until recently. I've tried downloading and unzipping the Lame =
software again without success. I am able to locate the lame_enc_dll =
file but when I attempt to open it I get the following message: "Unable =
to open MP3 encoder." I am using Audacity 1.2.3. Any help you can =
provide would be appreciated.

Hi Mary -

Can you post your operating platform (Windows, Linux, etc.), and a =
little more information about your machine?  Also, can you guess as to =
what changes you've made to your operating environment/application =
software SINCE the last time lame_end.dll worked?

Rich -- I'm using Windows XP and have been since I started using =
Audacity. I have been importing raw data from my receiver/turntable and =
exporting it to MP3 without any problems. I had an MP3 recording on my =
computer that I wanted to add label tracks to and that's when I started =
having Lame problems. I can export the tracks to WAV but not to MP3. The =
only difference I can see is that I'm importing an MP3 file and trying =
to export an MP3 file with a label track. I haven't been importing any =
LPs since I started having problems. Could it be that I can't export an =
MP3 from an MP3. I do have itunes and am considering using that to =
export my MP3 files. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Mary

I am a newbie to Audacity, and am hoping someone can answer one simple procedure/fix; I have joined the forum website but my question isn't answered.
I am using Audacity (version 1.3.9.0) and although my first recording from a audio cassette was successful the music itself wasn't heard during the recording process, could someone please supply the answer as to how I can enable the audio during recording?

Thankyou

We are all volunteers. You may have to wait a few hours for a reply.

You have to enable "playthrough" of the recording as explained here:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Transferring_tapes_and_records_to_computer_or_CD#setup

That page hasn't really been updated for recent Beta versions of 
Audacity, but in 1.3.9, you can simply click the Transport menu   
and enable "Software Playthrough". Make sure your playback 
device in the Devices Preferences is set correctly (which probably
means setting it to your inbuilt computer sound device). 

Please note:

Alternatively just use you operating system's sound card volume
control and enable playback for the source you are trying to record
from (line-in probably).

I have a signal from my PA head to my laptop but Audacity is not recording. I have it set to mono because I do not have a stereo PA. The laptop is getting the signal I tested it in the device manager so it's som setting. I have tried all combinations. Any ideas. You can email me directly at djyoumans@.... Thanks

For questions about recording you need to state the three-figure
version number of Audacity (see Help > About Audacity) and the 
version of Windows.

Usually you want to connect a PA signal to line-in of the computer,
and so (obviously) set Audacity to record from line in. 

If line in is not listed as an input in Audacity you may need to enable
it in Windows. See here for Windows XP:
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues#xpcp 

and here for Windows Vista or later:
