Playback speed is rapid and not in the rhythm I played it. I used a good Yeti microphone.

How far off is it? i.e. If you record for 60 seconds how long does it play back?

If you are playing-back on a “cheap soundcard” the clock in your soundcard may be slightly fast. (The Yet has it’s own clock and it’s probably closer to ideal.)

The desperation method rescue is Effect > Change Speed. Record something for an exact duration and then time it when it plays back. You can type those time values in the Effect > Change Speed settings.

So you don’t have to fix this immediately.
