U-LawA-Law playback can restore the dynamic range lost when reducing bit depth to 8-bit. Gale.

I am about to record the voice announcements for a clients office phone system.

Their provider is Comcast and I can upload the files via their portal.

BUT.the Comcast portal (for their VoIP Business Voice Edge phone system) only accepts files that are 8-bit Mono.

So, can I save to 8-bit mono in Audacity I am having a difficult time finding the right settings to do this.

Any ideas Or is this not possible in Audacity Thanks very much.

Sample rate is set with the little window in the Audacity lower left.

I think you can get to 8-bit in File Export Other Uncompressed.

If there are any stereo tracks they must be converted to mono before you export.

You can do that by either: a) Splitting the stereo track to mono, then delete one of the two mono tracks.

The Project Rate is in the bottom left corner of the main Audacity window.

Finally, File menu Export and select the export options that you required.

For example, for Unsigned 8-bit PCM WAV, select Other uncompressed files as the file type, then WAV (Microsoft) as the header and Unsigned 8-bit PCM as the Encoding.

Steve, thanks very much, followed your instructions and it worked.

When I play the file there is a very slight static noise during playback.

The sample rate affects the frequencies you hear.

Hz lets you hear all the frequencies humans can hear.

A lower rate will make it sound duller, with high frequencies removed, more like a telephone.

You can get more surface noise if you reduce the bit depth as you are doing.

Regardless, are you quite sure they dont want you to choose U-Law encoding (which is 8-bit) and 8000 Hz sample rate Most phone systems use U-Law (or A-Law), not PCM.
