# Exporting MP3s with LAME
|
|
|
|
A well formatted MP3 is essential to creating a loop that doesn't "skip" when it repeats. The best way to do this is using Audacity and LAME.
|
|
|
|
1. Download [Audacity](http://www.audacityteam.org/download/).
|
|
2. Download [LAME for Audacity](http://lame.buanzo.org/). This website is pretty dense - you're looking for the .exe if you're on Windows, or .dmg for Mac. If you're on Linux, you probably don't need this guide.
|
|
3. Install both, then open Audacity.
|
|
4. Drag your audio file to the Audacity window.
|
|
5. Select the looping section with your mouse. Test that it loops well by shift-clicking on the "Play" button. If it doesn't, adjust the selection handles until it does.
|
|
6. Click File->Export Selected Audio
|
|
7. Make sure the type is "MP3 Files".
|
|
8. Hit "Options" and make the Bit Rate Mode "Average" and the Quality "192kbps". This is a good balance between file size and audio fidelity.
|
|
9. Hit save! You now have a fresh MP3 ready to use in your very own Hues :) |
