Can I use two different Hz rates - Audacity?

[Webzu]

Hello,

I recorded a phone interview and the Hz rate is 22050Hz. I recorded the rest of the show separately using Audacity with 44100Hz is it possible to have the two different rates? When I'm trying to put the podcast together in Audacity it won't let me just high light and select the rate just for the highlighted amount, it changes the whole thing so I have the one of the recordings at the wrong speed. Do I need to re-record the rest of the show at 22050Hz so I can put it together? I'm hoping to just change the rates so the whole thing sounds normal even though I'm dealing with two different Hz rates. Any suggestions would be appreciated. P.S. The phone interview recording is in a wav file.

Thanks.

You can't have two sample rates. You need to choose one or the other. Are you saying that Audacity speeds up the 22.050 portion? Weird.

Since it's a wav file, why not just re-export it at 44.100 KHz, then bring it into Audacity?

Thanks Eric your response got me thinking and sure enough it was user error. I was cutting and pasting the two files together. Once I imported the audio wav file into the other recording and used the time shift tool to set it up like I wanted, I then exported it to MP3 where both recordings were mixed and now sound normal. :D Thanks.

No problem. But it sounds like you pretty much solved it on your own! Kudos!
