Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

I am using Audacity 2.3.3 / Windows 10, with M-Audio M-Track 8 interface. There have been no driver updates for this interface since 2015.

Up until this morning the Audacity version I was using was 2.3.1.

Just a few days ago I was recording with no problems. This morning when I tried recording with 2.3.1 I was getting drop outs, so I up graded to 2.3.3. The dropouts are gone, but the recorded pitch is 1/2 a step lower than what I actually played.

I’m not sure if this is an Audacity issue or an M-audio issue.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.

It’s usually a driver issue but sometimes it can be “fixed” by changing the sample rate to 44,100Hz or to 48,000Hz if you are currently at 44,100.

You can also get pitch/timing shifts if you record with your interface (which usually has an accurate clock) and then play back through your regular soundcard (which sometimes has a not-so-good clock).
