How to Change Speed in Audacity Without Chipmunk Effect! Change Speed in Audacity! Speed up Audio!

Hey guys my name is Scoby and in today's tutorial, I will show you how to change the speed of your audio in Audacity without having a chipmunk effect!

The change speed function in Audacity works fine, but often gives weird effects to your audio and can mess with it. A much better method for changing the speed of audio in Audacity is the change tempo effect, it can speed up your audio without the negative side effects of the change speed tool!

Tsym bro. This really helped me out for editing hentai sound effects. YTMD.

Unfortunately Audacity gives you a crazy amount of distortion when using any of their effects to speed up and slow down songs due to the way it stretches the sound waves. Try taking a music track and slowing it down by 25% then listening to it. Then take the same file and load it into VDJ and slow it down by 25%. You will see what I mean when you listen to them side by side. One sounds like its coming out of C3PO's ass and the other coming from a klipsch speaker

Thank you! A quick and straightforward tutorial like this one definitely deserves a like!

[EWorldHub]

[hydraulichydra]

First time watching I was like "wait, so what DOES it sound like? I just heard you talking" XD

[yoniment]

Thank you! If I had slowed down the speed to a song I like regularly it would sound choppy and not very smooth, but now It's slowed down and it sounds amazing!

[caiosx]

Is possible to gradually change the speed & pitch of an audio in audacity?

[raulrocks]

Just needed to shave a couple of seconds off an audio file, but I wanted to keep as much as possible. Very helpful, thanks!

[gamerbliiss]

But the audio length decreases making me lose a part of the original audio

[Toshiba]

Stunning, Thank you! this is exactly what i needed help with.

[HenryPrice-vd]

Thank you, very direct and simple. Great Tutorial!

[SuperMechguy]

I keep getting validation errors, anyone else coming across this problem?

[weirdvibeinc.]

Is there any way to play audio in the window at accelerated speed without pitch change? I have a really, really long audio file that I need to find clips in. But if I just speed up the playback speed in the editor window, I get the chipmunk effect and I can't find what I'm looking for.

[intuitivme]

This is exactly what i needed! thank you @Scoby!!!

[hugogalia]

Thanks a lot, even few years later it's still working ! Helped me a lot to cheat on a projet were I needed a 145 bpm song (but mine was 131)
