"Change Pitch" and "Change Tempo" are "Time stretching" effects. Time stretching is difficult to do as it involves chopping the audio up into tiny little pieces, spacing them out according to the time stretch settings, then glueing them seamlessly back together again. T...

Audacity 1.3.13 has some important bug fixes so it's probably worth updating. (for details see here: http://audacityteam.org/download/features-1.3-a ) Assuming that you did an ordinary default installation of Audacity 1.3.12, just install Audacity 1.3.13 and it will install over the top of your 1.3....

Could you export a short sample as a WAV file, then upload it somewhere (such as sendspace.com) and post a link.

It still refuses to open these files. Any error message? Do you have both the .AUP file and the _data folder? Have you moved or renamed either the .AUP file or the _data folder? Maybe you just cant edit mp3 aiff files in this software ? What does that have to do with your original questions? MP3 is...

1) See here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects 2) See here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Selection 3) I don't understand the question. If you "zoom in" on a shorter period of time, then of course you see a"zoomed in" section of whichever track(s)...

That's a very general question, to which I can't give more than a very general response.
Most of the necessary tools and techniques will be covered in the documentation: http://audacityteam.org/help/documentation

first of all, your 44.1 16 bit wav is a BWF file, right? just a normal PCM file, right? Exported WAV files are "normal" WAV files (Microsoft PCM WAV). They are not BWF. Tags in WAV files are not "standard" - that is, the published standards for Microsoft PCM WAV format does not ...
