Can we change playback speed?

Post by LeeX » Sat Sep 29, 2018 10:50 pm

Hi,

Would it be possible to change (slow down) the playback speed with Audacity 2.2.2 when we edit the track? It would be very helpful to edit the track in some cases if that's doable.

Thanks & regards,
Lee

And it gets better with 2.3.0 as we have made the speed change dynamic as you move the slider when Play-at-Speed is operating.

But note that the Transcription toolbar only affects playback - it does not alter the audio.

Great information. I didn't notice that 2.3.0 is available now. I'll give it a try.

By the way, the project files saved with 2.2.2 should be fully compatible with 2.3.0, correct?

Thanks & regards,
Lee
