So did new Zoom R8 drivers fix the speed problems?

Audacity does not have punch-in in the same track yet, except that if you hold SHIFT and click record then you can record at the end of the selected track(s).

You don't have to paste into the previous track. You can leave corrections in the new track, use Time Shift Tool to slide the correction into the best position, and if necessary crossfade the tracks so the joins between them are smooth.

I split your question about opening an Audacity project to a new topic http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 46&t=92935.

So how did you solve your recording speed problem? It may help other users reading this to know. ;)

Hi Gale, i was able to resolve the recording problem by going back to control panel -sound in my computer and rechecking the recording, play back settings. either I missed it or it moved:) but the recording setting was on 96hz. when I changed it to 44,1 things started to work right. thanks again

Thanks for confirming. OK, so given the problem has not come back, I will mark this topic [SOLVED] and lock it.
