Wav a little speedier?

[antoros]

Hi,
I'm using a Zoom H4 to record concerts. With audacity I edit (cut silence and amplify a little, no other effect) and save again as wav. The newly saved wav file is speedier or let say moving a little quicker than the original and the pitch some lover (roughly half tone).
The original files played directly from the zoom no.
Everything was saved on Macbook 10.4.11, Audacity 1.2.5 and put on cd with Toast titanium, files 16 bit 44100hz.

Anyone have some idea to clarify what is going on?

Are you absolutely sure that it is playing quicker and lower in pitch?
I can understand quicker and higher, or slower and lower, but not quicker and lower.

[antoros]

yes, quicker and a little lower, and it puzzles me as you. I could accept something similar of what you say with my old tape recorder, why it should be with a digital recording?
I check with my Maestro and it is so, also a simultaneous mobile phone recording show it. Audacity seems in between.
Do it could be caused by format subtle differencies or by passage on CD?
Thanks of the support.

It sounds impossible

How are you getting the recording from the Zoom into Audacity?
