maybe there are speed control on the programs that you have mentioned, or maybe try not to do anything (multitask) with the computer while you are recording. Just a guess.
I have recently been trying to convert Audio tapes to CD. During the actual recording it sounds fine however after I record using sound recorder or audioroom CD Recorder the play back is slow. Please tell me what might be the problem.
