Importing Wav File

Post by sescoto19 » Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:12 pm

I am trying to import an existing WAV file and when I do it doesnt play correctly. It is speed up. The WAV file is 22 minutes long but in Audacity it is only 0.070 seconds long. How do I get it to play correctly?

It's not a WAV file -- or it's not a standard WAV file.

Pull down and install Audacity 1.3.12 from here:

http://audacityteam.org/download/

And get lame and FFMpeg software from the same web site. After you fully outfit Audacity 1.3.12, the mystery file should open and edit OK.

You can put both Audacity versions on your machine, but only use one at a time. Audacity 1.3 Projects will not open in 1.2.

Audacity 1.2 is no longer supported, updated, patched or corrected.
