Hi so I'm using windows 10, up to date audacity, a scarlet solo 3, audiotechnica mic on an MSI laptop.
I've recorded plenty of vocals before and everything worked just fine. Today I recorded a song, it sounded crisp and clear on every single track. I began editing, using reverb, compressor, a tiny bit of auto tune and not much else. Everything was fine, then I deleted a track I no longer needed and played the song again. suddenly every track besides the first track which only contains the beat is very muffled, I tried undoing my last few effects and it didnt change the muffled sound at all, I closed audacity and they still sound this way. I Just don't understand why this would happen so long AFTER it was already recorded?
Muffled sound on audacity halfway through editing?

Re: Muffled sound on audacity halfway through editing?
I thought "auto tune" was incompatible with Audacity.
