Help With Chipmunk Vocals?
I'm a brand new, and quite novice, Audacity user. My son just bought me a USB turntable and I did follow all the set-up instructions in the Ion/Audacity manual. Everything works fine, except that even though the turntable speed is ok (33) and the music sounds normal, the vocals sound like Alvin is singing. I'm guessing it's some setting in Audacity itself that needs to be tweeked, but I'm not sure what to look at or what it should be. Details: the Preferences/Quality show 44100 Hz as the default sample rate, format is 16-bit. Suggestions?

Yes, that turntable will rotate at two different speeds. Can you make it worse? Can you make it really trashy if you play your records at 45, or does it not change? I'm looking at a broken speed change button on the turntable and it's stuck in 45.
Most of these turntables are remarkably cheap since they're designed to be throwaways after you finish your records. Anything could be wrong.
Also, there is a software package on some of the turntables that allows you to play 78s badly. That will seriously screw up your show.
