Tracks slowed down when imported

[mob206]

it's wierd, any track i import to audacity works fine, except for any files imported by a band called Alter Bridge that I listen to. Any of their songs from their first or second album come into audacity slowed down, about 50-60%, but I can't figure out why they're importing like this.

Any help?

You can get that effect when the imported tracks are at a different sample rate than your project. If your project is 44.1 KHz and the band was captured at 96KHz, then the music will slow down to about half. Go into your preferences to find out what your numbers are.

Are you sure it's half or just lower? You can get quite an effect if their track is 48 and you're at 44.1.
