Audacity Forum

The problem may be with the way that changing the tempo is done. Audacity has to cut up the music into tiny little pieces and either space out the pieces to make the tempo slower, or cut bits out to make the tempo quicker.

This is by no means the first report of Audacity 1.3 working better than 1.2 on Vista.

Does anyone know if audacity is incompatible with any of my hardware or audio software? I don't see any inherent compatibility issues there.

Check in Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O and make sure that the USB device is selected for recording. If the USB device is not listed, reboot your computer with the USB device still plugged in, then check the preferences again. If you are using Audacity 1.2.x you may need to restart Audacity for...
