This is a small collection of notes that I've been distributing in bits here and there in the hope that interesting artists will get hold of them and find them interesting enough to make something

Free audio tools

If you want to get raw WAV (which most devices can record as) to MP3 then CDEX is one of the simplest and fastest ways of doing it. Really good at ripping CDs too. http://www.cdex.n3.net/

And if you want to edit your stuff then Audacity is a decent, and simple, freeware audio editing tool worth using, that can also save out to MP3 (and Ogg etc.) http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Seconded.

Caveat emptor: Audacity is free, and you should be prepared to discover, as I did, that it doesn't actually fucking work.

That's odd, I've used it on a few systems, works just fine. Sometimes you'll need to have the LAME codecs (http://mitiok.free.fr/)installed to save out MP3s, but I just tried throwing it on my computer here at work and it was working 30 seconds later.

Hey Mr.Warren Ellis, thank you for this. This is incredibly useful information, I've already signed up for an account and will hopefully be using it to upload and host short films.

Cheers

Let me know if/when you do.

Mmm.
This makes my hard-drive vibrate.

My goodness

I wonder what this could generate if I passed the word to some of my mates? Thank you, Mr. Ellis, you've just given a fairly creative lot the possibility to compete with the crappy short film festival that just closed here. We'll let you know of course.
