That's really useful Les, thanks. OK I have to learn to be able to play in time - every time and all the time! Ha ha......but anyway, I have tried out that change tempo feature:
I wanted to increase the tempo of a 'piece' I was trying to record but I couldn't change chords fast enough (without flubs) so I recorded the melody line at the faster speed (single notes with pick), slowed it down and recorded the chords over it and changed it back to original speed. I thought I was being resourceful and creative, but Audacity didn't agree and gave me back a distorted and useless end product.
What do the Quick Mix and Align Tracks do? I was hoping they might be able to 'fudge' together my bad timing in some way. And if there are any software geeks out there, if you could invent such a program there is definitely a market and money to be made (10% to me for the idea - at least).
One good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain - Bob Marley
