You need to change the settings for LAME (in the Audacity preferences) to --alt-presets standard (~190 kbit/s, typical 180 ... 220) - high quality, but fast enough. You can read on the settings, for example, here. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1912 LXR On Sat, 21 May 2011

Thank you both for responding so quickly. I changed the bit rate to 192 in Audacity (I didn't see the exact option you mentioned), and it seems to have made a significant improvement. -Original Message- From: alexander Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2011 10:56 AM To: Stephen Arndt Cc: lute

I tried to send this a while ago but it never showed up. Maybe someone was censoring my some slightly dodgy tuning. Anyway: here is a shot at a couple of arrangements of fifteenth century songs. The music is a lot earlier than the earliest known lute music but very attractive and not difficult
