If you are using Windows or Mac, use "Effects > Change Pitch".

It could be that you have recently changed something else on your computer, for example installing another program - fairly common culprits are VST plugins, if you have the "VST enabler" installed in Audacity. It could also be that the Audacity configuration file has got messed up. You can...

Hi Claire, I hope you have the time to stick with this, but it sounds like things have got in a bit of a muddle since the last time you did any microphone recording, so I'd like to start at the beginning and then we can work our way through. (The alternative is that we could take some blind guesses,...
