    1. Install the Lame encoder. Please follow the instructions on this page


Note: It is recommended to download both the stable version and the Beta version. The main advantage to the Beta is that it offers a much improved noisecleaning effect. Some readers use the stable version to record, and the Beta to apply noisecleaning. Other readers will use the Beta for everything.

Configure

You might need to change the default settings in Audacity. This is to ensure that all our recordings are as technically uniform as possible.
