I’m using Audacity 2.4.2 on my 2020 macbook air running Big Sur.
I recorded my audio without any problems and had been pasting bits of dialogue from various takes into a new audacity project. Everything was fine and the playback sounded great.
Then, all of a sudden the entire project sounded distorted like an old time radio kind of. I had just been copying and pasting, not playing around with effects or anything. The other projects I had open at the same time, and that I was copying and pasting from sound normal. I tried copying a piece from the normal sounding project and pasting it into the distorted one and as soon as I pasted it into the project, it sounded distorted as well.
I pressed Undo to undo the past few things, in case it was something I had inadvertently done, but nothing changed.
Attached is a screenshot of the project, and an audio clip of what I’m talking about.
Thank you for any help you can offer!
You’ve set your “Project Rate” (bottom left of the screen) to 4410 instead of 44100.
