I thought you could record them automatically 'into' Audacity. I don't know how you want to record stuff? With what kind of thing? Mic? MP3-player? |

Well most software lets you choose what kind of file type you want when saving the recording. I've never used Audacity though. |

I can't find any info on file formats for MySpace-tracks... Your pc mic records wav-files, I guess. I think mp3 and wma are the most common file formats for audio, and I suppose MySpace will support those file formats. -->ALWAYS SAVE YOUR TRACK WITH SEPERATE LAYERS<-- Then you'll always have the original file to convert from, and you can always edit if you want. |

I don't know about other free software avaible, I mostly stick with things I know/read about in a pc-magazine. I'm not that fond of unknown software. I've installed a trial-version of Adobe Audition, but the trial ends in 30 days. About Vista: I have no idea. You got Movie Maker, but that's for video's rather than audio. |

I use Cool Edit Pro for my recordings. It has tons of features I don't even know about. But it does multitracking and EQ'ing of the tracks so I'm alright. I got a pirated version though. Downloaded with torrent. |

If you record yourself singing through Audacity, you can save your recording as WAV afterwards. If you want to safe it as a MP3, you'll have to download an additional thing first to be able to do so. I think you should visit the website of Audacity (if there's an existing one, that is) and check it out. I tend to use Audacity for simple voice recordings and export them as WAV and it works perfectly fine with me. The audio quality is also pretty good. |
