Weird. My only question regarding the chipmunks is WHY? Kids really do have the most awful taste in entertainment, although I couldn't bear the chipmunks even when I was a kid.]]> In The Studio mmdm https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227495 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227494 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 18:31:05 +0000
Still gotta love those Chipmunks!

We had an album of Chipmunks' songs, including the one in that clip, when we were kids. Fun stuff. :D

I want to be able to record (into Audacity) a ripped cut played at a slower speed. (So I can then record my playing along and listen to it back to help correct my playing problems.)

So I should be able to do that using the above instructions, by playing the slowed-down cut in WMP?

Or does Audacity have it's own feature for slowing something down?

Thanks,

Margaret Yes, I have done exactly that. I do think Audacity has it's own feature for doing that, but I didn't have time to figure it out so just played it slower with MP while recording it. Just be sure to set Audacity to only record what the pc is playing, and not to record through the mic.]]> In The Studio mmdm https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227485 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227484 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 17:56:55 +0000
Anything coming out of your speakers can be recorded in Audacity exactly as it sounds, then saved out as an MP3. Absolutely anything (hence needing to turn off windows beeps, mouse clicks etc.).

Audacity also has a 'change tempo' function which will slow things down without affecting pitch, along with 'change pitch' which won't change speed and 'change speed' which does both tempo and pitch together. All in the effects menu, IIRC, and all full of handy info (semitones for pitch control, rather than percentage etc.)]]> In The Studio Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227484 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227482 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 17:41:06 +0000

Kalle I only seem to have the option (version 10) of converting to .wma or .mp3 and it won't convert them to .mp3 because they are protected files. I don't see an option for converting them to .wav.]]> In The Studio mmdm https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227467 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/couple-of-audacity-questions/#post-227433 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 12:29:57 +0000 Windows Mediaplayer (10-11) should be able to convert .wma format to .wav format.
