The Audacity Of It

audacity.jpgJust been going thru some of my old MP3’s and I’ve finally figured out why some of them seem so slow.

A few years ago I went thru them and picked out some of my faves, then I ran them thru Audacity to speed them up by about 20%.  That’s why they sound so slow to me when I hear them on the radio.  It’s taken me ages to figure out what the difference was…

As an aside, if you’re in need of a free audio tool, for playing with, mixing, normalising or just generally playing with your tunes you could do worse than take a look at Audacity.

(The full list of tunes I tweaked is available, for a price, some of them I’m not proud of…)
