A few notes on how to export an audio as an mp3 file: In order to compress your audio as an mp3 file, you'll need to download and additionally install LAME MP3 encoder. After that, remember the folder where "LAME encoder" was installed. When you export your first mp3, the Audacity will ask you to navigate to "lame_enc.dll" file. Navigate to the folder where LAME was installed and choose "lame_enc.dll" file there. Press "Open" and "OK" button. After that Audacity will remember the path to the encoder, and you can export mp3s anytime without hassle. Note that Audacity currently works only with recorded/imported audio and doesn't support VST plugins (virtual synths and real-time effects). So if you wanna use VST plugins and more advanced post-production functionality such as gradual shift of value of effect parameters, volume or pan on the fly, check out MU.LAB free digital audio workstation.MU.LAB can record in separate automation track the way virtual knobs and sliders are moved, without making any changes to the audio track itself, and allows to create/edit the automation manually.
