What audio format should I use?
We are often asked what the 'best' audio format is to upload into Alitu. For best quality, a .wav would be the standard starting point, if possible.

For more information on bitrate, see this article, [What Bitrate Should I Use for a Podcast](https://www.thepodcasthost.com/editing-production/what-bitrate-shou

What Does Alitu Do That Audacity Can't?
Alitu and Audacity are very different editing solutions. Audacity is designed to give you ALL the editing and processing features you might need, but doesn’t give you any automation or assistance in using them.
