I remove clicks and pops.Then i save my master in FLAC format using the FLAC plugin. I dunno about FLAC and Audacity but at least, you could save uncompressed and use the FLAC codec afterwards. It's always a good idea to save your master in FLAC (Lossless compression) so you can re-edit your files afterwards without starting from a lossy compressed file (MP3 is lossy, it degrades every time you save).After that, i generate the MP3 with LAME, piping FLAC decoder into the LAME MP3 codec.I use MP3 VBR, quality level 1.LAME is one of the best MP3 Compressor and is free (same for FLAC).As for the ID3 tags, i standardized with ID3 v2 and i don't use v1 inside the same file (using to hearders inside the same MP3 is source of problem from time to time). There are a couple of good masstaggers so your could use that to save time.Finally, i use MP3Gain to adjust the gain of all my files to 90 db.Hope this helped.Guy Boisvert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
