Re: chipmunk effect

My mike is a USB one. Okay, so I downloaded an older version [2.0.6 - I don't remember at all what version I was using before I downloaded the latest] and installed it on a USB key. I have now just completed another hour of recording with imported music and it went flawlessly. So I think there is so...

Re: chipmunk effect

When I say recording a radio program, I mean producing it for later uploading to a radio station. I choose the music and call in (import audio) the songs to Audacity. Then I comment directly recording my voice after the song and introduce the next song to be called into the program. When I start to ...

Re: chipmunk effect

Okay, I just completed an hour of importing music plus voice recording in between the songs. And it is strange to say the least. Everything started out normal (speed that is). Then my voice recording started playback much too fast, so I reduced it with the "effect-speed" command by 50% to normal. Th...

Re: chipmunk effect

I've made the change and it went fine... until 15 minutes into the recording session. A normal rate for the pre-recorded music I added, and then my next voice recording thereafter, suddenly went fast and high, way too high to be understood. I don't know what to do. I did nothing to warrant this chan...

Re: chipmunk effect

Sorry, I don't seem to be very clear in my responses. I'll try again. I have recently downloaded the latest version of the software and it has made a difference in where new voice recording appears. Before, a new track started with each new attempt to record my voice. Now the recording simply contin...

Re: chipmunk effect

I am attempting to record a 1-hour radio program. When I continue voice recording on the same track where I started, things seem to work. But when I stop, add a song, which brings in a second track, and then attempt to restart recording my voice on a second track, the playback is chipmunks.

Re: chipmunk effect

Hi. In the middle of recording an hour program, I find my voice is playing way too fast so that I sound like Alvin and his chipmunk friends. I am not aware of having done anything to warrant this. Let me add this: My previous posting was answered by telling me how to get a new recording track start...

chipmunk effect

Hi.

In the middle of recording an hour program, I find my voice is playing way too fast so that I sound like Alvin and his chipmunk friends. I am not aware of having done anything to warrant this.

How to get back to reality please?

All of a sudden, I have only mono recording

yesterday, I opened audacity (2.4.2) to do a stereo recording and all I can get is mono. I am not aware of having made any changes in the parameters fields, but I cannot get back to using both channels, only the lower one. One added complication. Normally when I stop recording and begin again, a Sec...
