Alien Sound Please Help!

Post by Bottie » Fri Apr 17, 2009 5:08 pm

I am so new to all this and I am getting married in a weeks time and need to mix a track of various music for our first dance. I am determined to do it and all I have managed to do so far is download audacity and then I imported a track to practise with from my itunes. When I hit play to check it was correct track it played so fast it sounded like aliens.

Do I have to set the speed and if so how and what to? Please help - bride in distress.

Thanks

You are trying to import a file that is in an unsupported format.

Audacity 1.2 supports WAV files, MP3, Flac and Ogg. It does not support Windows WMV, or WMA files and does not support AAC, or AC3 formats. Can you export from iTunes in WAV format?

<<<Can you export from iTunes in WAV format?>>>

No, and I can't, either. iTunes only converts between formats on Import. Get iTunes to burn the song to a CD and then rip the CD with CDEX (this is intentionally difficult to do).
