I need to slow the playback speed of recordings while maintaining the pitch.
Audacity 1.3.5 beta (installed automatically via add/remove programs, on Hardy i386) has no "Effect-Change tempo" or "Effect-Change pitch" options. It does have the "Effect-Change speed" option, but without any way to retain pitch (the Windows version does have these options and everything works perfectly).
The only solution I've seen in the forums is to download soundtouch and compile it, and also recompile audacity (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731118). I haven't tried this because I've never compiled code before. I don't mind trying, but I'm hoping to find a click-and-go solution.
Other forum posts suggest that this is only a problem with later versions of Audacity.
Can anyone confirm that this is a later version issue only? Is there any way to get/add this functionality without compiling code?
Thanks much.
