The way it has to be done now involved complex calculations, interpolation what the optimal speed/tempo would be based on a part of it. Plus you have to later on shift the track + possibly repeat the process several times. Actually, no calculations are required in 2.4.2. Simply jot down the target ...

koz has apparently stepped away, but I am sure he will be back soon.

When using the most recent version of Audacity, I find it locks up after several minutes of inactivity and I must exit using Ctl>Alt>Del and restart the session. I tried re-installing, but same the problem exists! Anyone running into this glitch? In a word, no. :) Two things to try: 1) Tools > Rese...

The sample rate of the exported file is taken from the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of the main Audacity window).

I have created several macros to help me speed up editing my voice over work, and also have tweaked my preferences (GUI, Custom Track Naming, etc...). Occasionally when I'm working on a project, usually under a tight time-frame, I accidentally s...
