You seems to be uncertain whether it is "1 octave". Why is that?
I figured it out that it is just a half-step lower, not 1 octave lower. So my instrument is standard tuned, then the recording was Eb. Also noticed some split-second skip beats.

By the way, aside from the track being recorded 1 half-step (not 1 octave as I have figured it out) lower, there also noticeable skip beats and tempo changes after every couple of seconds or so.. Track playback seems to momentarily slows down then fasten up...

Try setting the default sample rate in Audacity to 48000 Hz (in "Edit menu > Preferences > Quality")
Also set the device to 48000 Hz in the
Windows Sound Control Panel.
Then close and restart Audacity, and make a test recording.
