So, on a few songs, for a few people, the track will play by very fast. It will make singers sound like Chipmunks. Guitars will sound like the guitarist was on speed. To fix this, all you need is Audacity.

1. In Audacity, open the song's guitar.ogg track

2. Click on the grey area in front of the track to highlight the entire song

3. Under "Effect," select "Change Speed"

4. Enter "-50" into the box

5. Apply the change. The song should be twice as long

6. File>Export as Ogg Vorbis

7. Save the new file as Guitar2 in the song's folder, leaving the old file as a precaution

8. Name the old file "guitarfast" and the new file "guitar"

9. Test. If the problem is still not fixed, change the old file back to "guitar.ogg" and the slower track back to "guitar 2" and try t find some other way to fix it.

I've used this trick on both SA-Tyrion's "The Fallen" and KenshinHimuraRK's "Canon Rock" to great avail.

Why to continue the wrong when there is a better way?

1. In Audacity, open the song's guitar.ogg track twice.
2. Click on the filenames and pick Left Channel on one track, then Right Channel on second track.
3. Click on one of the tracks and pick option Make Stereo Track.
4. Export the file as guitar.ogg.
