Recording voice over another mp3

Aug 1, 2006 12:11AM PDT

How do you do it? Is there any good softwares out there that can let me do this? I need to record voice over some other MP3's.. It sounds easy, so how easy/hard is it? As far as if i need to buy software, i don't mind spending under $100 for a good program that has many options if need be.

Thank you in advanced

Recommendation
Aug 1, 2006 2:09PM PDT

Hello-

I would highly recommend the freeware program- Audacity.
I very much enjoy using it for my mp3s. It takes mp3s but for it to have an mp3 output, you must first download .lame which is an encoder. It will prompt you for this when you attempt to export you edited sound file as an mp3. Browse for the .lame file that you have downloaded and Audacity will export your file as an mp3. It will not prompt you for this .lame file again unless you relocate it or delete it- so don't. Both the program Audacity and the .lame file are on cnet's www.download.com.

Please keep me updated on your results.
Good Luck!

Convert a file from Audacity file to MP3 or wave
Feb 1, 2009 11:53AM PST

Hi Jonathan how are you?

I'm writing you because I saw your answer on this website.

Can you help me to convert a few audacity that files I recorded to MP3 or wave? They are very short files.

I couldn't find a way to convert them. I need to send them to a client of mine.

My e-mail address is edwinar98@yahoo.com

I will really appreciate your help.
