Change Speed - output file cut

Post by Tim F. » Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:07 pm

Hi,

I attempted to change the speed of a wav file. Even though I have the ENTIRE wav highlighted, when I use the "Change Speed" option, the last few seconds of the song are cut off. I thought that it may only be happening when I play the updated file in Audacity, but when I save the file, the same thing happens. Can you help?

If it's a resampling bug in 1.2, we are not fixing that version any more. You can try Set Rate instead, or use the current 1.3.13 Beta.

If you mean Change Tempo, so that the pitch doesn't change with the tempo change, it's known there could be issues, but time-stretching always has compromises. Try Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift in 1.3.13 instead.
