Techie (audacity) & PL help please

I'm doing some PL, using 2 different computers, and notice that audacity shows the same mp3 file as 16 bit sample on 1 pc (Linux) and 32 bit on the other (Windows).

Does anyone know what's going on?

Does it matter for PL purposes or can I disregard this check? (= simplest solution!)

With thanks.

71 - Jethro 8

This would be PL OK except at:

- end - needs 5 seconds silence

Re: [OPEN] Dramatized Bible Stories of the Old Testament-ans

PL for dadjunior 84 Gideon narrator Tech - This is too loud. Checker program shows 98 dB, should be about 89 (max 92). You can reduce the volume in audacity. - there are quite a few plosives, maybe volume reduction will make them less noticable - you need to leave only about a 5 second silence at th...

I found a free BB code editor at softpedia: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Other-Internet-Related/WYSIWYG-BBCode-Editor.shtml unfortunately it isn't a portable version yet but I can keep it on my main pc where ...

Re: [OPEN] Dramatized Bible Stories of the Old Testament-ans

PL notes for ZamesCurran 96 - Narrator, Samson Tech specs & volume - good. I think the number in filename should be 11, the story number. A few distracting sounds at: 0.53 & 4.29 - a couple of plosives. In audacity, if you zoom right in you can reduce amplification on the spike. 14.31 & ...

Re: formatting posts

yes that doesn't work efficiently. which text editor do PLers tend to use rather than typing directly into forum? I'm not always online where I can listen.

Re: formatting posts

I don't have phbbb export but I can export to a small jpg image for each PL session so I'll try that first as it's quickest and it looks ok. Thanks for the idea!
