Software Playthrough invariably causes a delay so that should be switched off.

How are you recording? Are you using a USB microphone?

Except that tracks 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 appear to be silent. Is there supposed to be some audio on those tracks?

Resampling to a higher rate can make a marginal improvement, but it is not much better. The "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" is not quite right yet, but the sound quality is a lot better. The attached file is a couple of low piano notes shifted down by 2 semi-tones. The first part is using...

Audacity holds just one set of metadata for the current project. The id tag data from the first imported file into the project should automatically go into Audacity's metadata. Tag data from subsequent imported files is ignored. Note that there are inconsistencies in id3 tag data depending on what p...

Seemed to work OK but I've noticed on the transposed version the lower notes have become 'Warbly' - bit like Wow on a tape machine. Is there anything I can do to reduce / stop this effect please? C...
