Re: mix stereo down to mono changes playback speed

Windows 10 - This happens all the time. All files and project are 44100Hz. Mix down makes the track longer, slower, and lower in pitch. Are you looking in the right place for "Project Rate" (See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/selection_toolbar.html) and track rate (See: https://manu...

Re: How do I change the pitch of the playthrough?

Audacity does not apply effects during recording. This is a fundamental feature of the kind of editor that Audacity is, so it is very unlikely that will change any time soon.

Is that possible for me to instantly change the pitch of the playback?
No it's not. Audacity does not do real-time processing. You can change the pitch of a recorded track using the "Change Pitch" effect, but you can't use Audacity as a real-time effect processor.

Re: recording stutter

First thing to do is to ensure that all background tasks on the computer are completed. Ensure that Windows is fully updated, your antivirus is updated and any scheduled scans are complete, and other software that auto-updates is updated, any other scheduled tasks are complete.

Re: 2.4.2 reporting "mp3 decoding failed" errors

I don't know what's going on with iTunes, but I do know what's going on in Audacity. In older versions of Audacity, error checking was turned off in the MP3 importer. Audacity would try to import an MP3 even if it was complete trash. However, this caused a problem for OGG files because the MP3 impor...

Re: How to check if a file is a "real" 24bit?

Files are FLAC. Ah, that explains it. FLAC files squash the data together to reduce the file size without losing any sound quality ("lossless compression"). The numbers seem about right for stereo files. 16 bit is sufficient to handle around 100 dB of dynamic range, so unless you're liste...
