Hello, I have Windows XP and been using Audacity 1.3.x beta just fine without any issues. Usually to record and simple riff or simple edit an MP3 of one my recordings. I did start recording multiple tracks and was doing just fine. Then today, when I record, the playback sounds distorted. When I stop and press play, the original track sounds fine but what I just recorded sounds sped up and whole step higher in pitch.
When I'm not dubbing tracks, everything sounds fine. Not sure why I had no issues before and now I suddenly can't add more tracks. I upgraded to Audacity 2.x thinking it would fix whatever is doing this, it did not.

Re: Recording Dubbing Issues
Record how? Exactly. Part numbers, connections, types of microphones if any.Then today, when I record, the playback sounds distorted.
The playback of the guide track while you're recording, or the newly recorded track when you finish?

Re: Recording Dubbing Issues
I record directly into to PC with my TAPCO interface. I recorded multiple tracks just fine and made MP3's with them. Drums, 2 heavy guitars, 2 clean guitars, and 2 keyboard tracks. Then today, I just want to record a new guitar track with the same drum track to play along to, and that's when I get the issue I described.
Again, when I just record 1 thing, it works fine. When I start dubbing, the playback track gets distorted while what I'm recording sounds fine. When I finish, and play it back, the original playback track sounds fine but what I just recorded sounds sped up and a whole step higher in pitch.
