Digital Bits Technology Column QnA

Question:

How do I set bit rate [in Audacity]? Is 120 the better choice?

Answer:

The bit rate in Audacity is set in Edit -> Preferences -> File Formats. 128 is a fine choice, and you usually don’t need to change it, unless you’re trying to compress audio, or save a recording in super-high quality.
