I accidentally sent my last message before making one or two changes I
intended to make. I intended to word the first paragraph as follows:
> Instead of working with enormous wave files, I would suggest that
> you try recording in a high quality mp3 format and editing using Mp3
> Direct Cut. If you don't like the results for some reason, you can use
wave files. If you wwant to work with wave
> files, then edit them in Audacity, which is not as easy or convenient as
> editing using Mp3 Direct Cut, then take the time to have these large files
> converted to Mp3 for their final form, that's your choice. I would
> strongly advise you not to assume things such as that a high quality wave
> file will yield better results than a high quality mp3 file for spoken
word recordings. I won't discuss music recordings in this message. I
doubt that anyone can tell the difference between
> a 320kbps mp3 file of spoken word material and a high quality wave file.
> And since you intend to convert the material to mp3 anyway, even if there
> were any detectable difference, it would be lost when you convert the
> wave file to mp3.
