Scroll down for the FAQ before you comment with any problems, it might be there!

EDIT: So it turns out there's a simpler way to do the steps from 2:13 to 2:45. Just go to Tracks/Resample in Audacity to easily resample your audio!

Also for anyone wondering, all the rsdk python file sare included with Mania Mod Studio, so I highly suggest you get it once more.
