problem with tempo

[evelix]

I have a problem with Audacity program, when I try to paste a song to the program it`s OK but when I open a second song to connect them and I try to paste it, where the first song is, then either the voice in the song I paste changes or it speed`s up the tempo. What can I do about it?

I think you are pasting a clip at one sample rate into a track which has a different sample rate. Audacity Beta can resample in that situation to avoid temp/length changes but 1.2 can't. To fix it in 1.2:

1 set the Project Rate button (at bottom left of the screen) to the rate of the track into which you want to paste

2 click in the Track Panel (above the mute/solo buttons) of the track which you want to paste into the other. This will select all of this track, then Project > Quick Mix.

Now the track you just Quick Mixed will be resampled to the rate of the track you want to paste into, with the length and tempo remaining the same, so you can cut or copy and paste between them without problem. Note the resampled track will have silence added at the end due to a current bug, but you can delete that.
