Dear Friends,

I have Audacity 2.0.2 and Mac. OS X version 10.7.4. How can I treat a track - like Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet Overture - to make parts of it sound zombie-esque? I would probably want it slowed down, with lower pitch, but also a kind of ghoulish distortion - as though being played underwater, and with palpable distress, but still be faintly recognizable as the Tchaikovsky.

All suggestions gratefully received. Many Thanks, Timothy

Try Effect > Change Speed and Effect > Tremolo. Extreme settings in Effect > Equalization might achieve the "distortion" you are looking for.
