AUDACITY

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me and remember, I'm a granny and I figure my 'disk
is full.'

I'm using XP Professional and easy little freeware recording program,
Audacity, to record voice files from a Panasonic digital voice recorder. Was
recording the sound from Panasonic's Voice Editing sofware onto Audacity for
editing then saving to .WAV format. It worked great for months with
absolutely no distortion. But for some reason I haven't a clue to, the voices
began recording and playing back faster and with a strange echo-y nature. We
sound like Alvin and The Chipmunks talking through metal pipes! I
uninstalled Audacity, searched out everything I knew related to it, using
Find, and deleted those files. Restarted the computer. Did a whole new
download and installation of Audacity. Still the same corrupted situation.
HELP? Granny

wrong group for this..but are you using the latest version?
audicity.sourceforge.net
you didn't state if you were listening to the tracks within the program
or not. Double click the little speaker icon near the clock in the
system tray and select advanced and be sure your microphone is muted
(and not feeding back audio to your sound card and to you creating an
echo). good luck.

In an earlier post "Yves Leclerc" responded, in message
, to a similar problem :

What is your make/model of the sound card? I know that on Sound Blaster
Audigy cards, the drivers have a special feature which you can set so that
voices sound like "chipmunks".
