Transposing in Audacity

Audacity Help Forum Windows
1

Just starting using Audacity. I was told I could transpose a song to another key with this software but can’t figure out how to do it.

  1. Will it transpose keys?
  2. If so, how do I do it?

Thanks in advance for any help on this topic

“Change Speed” is simple to use and very high quality, but it changes both the pitch and the tempo.
The “Change Pitch” effect is quick and easy to use, but the sound quality is not that great with percussive sounds.
“Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift” is a more advanced effect - not as simple but better sound quality.
