Audacity Forum

trying to copy some records on to my laptop running windows 7 on a usb turntable make....base, model no....TT-186PC.
plays at the correct speed while recording but when playing back the speed is way too fast.
can anyone pls give me an idea what i am doing wrong if i am, or hopefully give me a solution. cheers

Which version of Audacity are you using?
(please look in "Help > About Audacity" and quote the FULL version number)

the full version i am using is Audacity 1.3.13-beta (unicode)

Is it also playing at a high pitch, or is it just the speed (tempo) that is too fast?

gday mate .first time i have tried to use this. sorry for being a bit vague but could be a bit of both. cheers

We can only respond to the information that you give us.
Does it sound "garbled", "choppy" or distorted in some way?
Perhaps you could post a short sample in WAV format for us to listen to - just a few seconds will be sufficient.

will do but having trouble attatching the sound to the post. how can i do that pls

Do not send us an AUP file. Export a WAV or good quality MP3.

Maximum size 1 MB - that's about 6 seconds for a stereo track but just a couple of seconds in WAV format will be enough.
Select a couple of seconds of the track then "File menu > Export Selection".

thanks. this is how mondo rocks cool world sound on playback
