How to Increase the Tempo & Pitch of Songs

Using an audio editor, it is easy to increase the tempo and pitch of songs. The free audio editor Audacity functions in the same manner as two commercial programs -- Peak and Sonar. If you have any of these programs, you will be able to increase the tempo and speed of your songs within a few minutes. The steps are not difficult to complete and you have complete control over both the pitch and the speed of the modifications.
