Audacity Forum

I've noticed a difference is that I do not generally log out, and I have Firefox set to log in automatically. Also, I am on broadband and my IP address does not change very often. I am wondering if the slowness to connect that you are experiencing is due to the forum checking for banned IP addresses...

I suspect that you have changed the sample rate of the track. Doing this will change the playback speed. You can set the required recording sample rate by either setting the default rate in Audacity Preferences (Edit Menu > Preferences > Quality tab), or by selecting the required project rate from t...

This is probably an easy fix, Common issue, but not necessarily that easy to fix. Basically the problem is that data from you audio device is not getting written to the hard drive fast enough to make a continuous track (hence the drop-outs). This can be for any number of reasons. If you are using a...
