We can do it with Effect > Change > Pitch without seriously affecting the length of the song, but you're going to run into two problems almost immediately. Two and a half full notes is right at the limit that can be done without sounding like you're dragging your finger on the record -- if you're ol...

I'm going with no, although I've never tried it. Audacity is a really simple audio program and it likes running on really simple computers.

My guess is when FFMpeg split the sound off, it produced the sound file with the wrong speed in the header, or actually produced the 48000 sample rate incorrectly. I don't know of any way to find out in post production other than knowing the duration error. The error is perfectly correct for getting...
