Does Audacity have an effect that can slow down a track a little bit?

Hi,

Can some one please let me know if Audacity 2.3.0 have an effect that can slow down a track a little bit?

I have two tracks, one solo and one accompaniment. They don't sync 100%. The accompaniment is a bit faster. Would it be possible to use Audacity 2.3.0 to slow it down a bit from the beginning to end? It would be helpful if that function can let me choose slow down percentage, e.g. change original speed to 99%, 98.5%, 98%, etc. so I can try to sync it with the solo track.

Thanks & regards,
Lee

If you are unsure which one to use, tell us more about these tracks and why they are different speeds.

Thanks for the information. I tried "Effect -> Change Tempo". It solved the problem by -2.3 tempo change :D

When solo was recorded, apparently it followed a different accompaniment from the one I received via a different resource. Anyway, the problem has been solved. Thank you.

Regards,
Lee
