Effect > Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift is a built-in effect, not Nyquist. Select it when you edit the chain by double-clicking TimeScale.

Have checked the data files and in one case it is empty and in the other there are totally unrelated sound files. I hadn't moved any - simply saved each project after naming it and then clicked close in the drop down menu. This doesn't seem to be the case here, but for others' benefit, never save t...

Would the sound chip on the m/b, or the video card or the USB mouse interfere in any way? It would be good to rule out hardware. The sound device always needs up-to-date sound drivers - obviously if you were to just hit Record to start a manual recording and Audacity froze or crashed after a few se...

When I try to open flac files in audacity, the file just squeaks for a couple of seconds. These files play fine on media players, but I'd like to edit them and export as .wav. Not sure what's wrong as I reinstalled the software several times Try Audacity 1.3.12 . If the file still does not import p...

Je ne parle pas français d'origine. Si vous pouvez parler en anglais, svp le faire. Si vous CTRL + ALT + DEL, est audacity.exe dans l'onglet processus de Task Manager?

If you force quit, Audacity will have a clean autosave file (essentially like the .aup project file you get when you save a project) and clean temporary folder to recover from. If you ...

Click Edit > Preferences: Audio I/O tab in Audacity and set the Playaback Device to whatever device you headphones or speakers are plugged into, and the Recording Device to your built-in computer sound device. Then set the Mixer Toolbar input selector to line-in and ...

When I use chain to speed up mp3 files I get a background echo. The greater the tempo change the greater the echo. Some of the files are sampled at 44100Hz & 64kbps and for export Audacity needs them to be sampled down to lower frequency and 16kbps. I have tried 22050 Hz and 24000 Hz but the pr...

Are there any .au files in the _data folder for that project? Have you moved or renamed them?

I download my vinyl from a roxcore player whit USB,,is it the same rule anyway? Audacity doesn't add tones every 30 seconds if you obtain it from us. The usual explanation of that is that you have obtained Audacity or some other audio editor from another source, and it inserts the tones when you re...
