In a nutshell, my issue is trying to slow down
recorded audio and
maintain decent sound quality.
1. Is my approach reasonable? Record with Ardour and then slow it
down with something else?
Alsaplayer sounds crap in varispeed. I'd use Ardour for slowing things
down as it uses libsamplerate for that purpose. In the Mixer strip,
just above the pre-fader plugins, it says "1" which is for playback
speed of that track. [Shift-] Click that to change it. You can then
export to wav or whatever.
3. Would a higher sample rate in JACK help the
quality?
Yes. But I take it from other messages in this thread that you have
trouble running jack with higher rates. No clue what's in the way.
