Some songs change speed when it is imported.

Post by TrixRabbi » Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:13 am

On some songs, when I import them into Audacity they go slower than normal or faster. (Like chipmunk vocals.) I don't know how to get them normal again. Some go slow, some go fast, some work fine. What causes this and is there a way to fix it?

Audacity only understands three or four sound formats; OGG, AIFF, WAV, and MP3. If you apply a foreign sound file, like MPa, MP4, or ACC, Audacity will try to play it and make a mess. You need to make your sound files into one of those that Audacity understands.

Thanks. Although I updated to the latest version and that seemed to fix the problem for the most part.
