This effect was like 90% of the reason I opened audacity. The ability to change a track’s pitch and tempo at the same time. Like just a natural slowed down sound, similar to if you played a record slower than normal.

Love the redesign otherwise

Use Soundscaper, it’s got Audacity’s UI but also has the pitch and speed effect.
