Default Playback rate dropped -- SOLVED

So this is weird. About to render a podcast episode, made selection, opened render options, played beginning of file to make sure selection started in the right place, and the playback rate was suddenly at maybe a quarter speed.

Closed project, opened it up, same.

Checked project settings, look fine. Didn't do anything that I'm aware of. Total mystery to me, but I need to render this episode asap, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solved my own problem. Don't know how I touched it, since I didn't even know it was there, but the "Rate" knob was at .015. The knob is located next to the BPM and the time sig in the transport, for anyone looking that doesn't know...

Edit. Looking back at the sequence of events I probably accidentally hit it when I was hovering over and zooming out to finish the selection. User error, but totally undetectable until the horrifying results played back at me like Will Ferrell on ketamine.

We have all done this (or at least I have.) So easy to do in the heat of working.
I wonder if it might help if the rate window could go red or blink or something when not set to 1?

You can hide playrate (right-click transport) - which I do because I always found a way to change it without realizing.

It has a color available in the theme tweak window (find via Action List). In the theme that I use, the color blending is not very good, and bright red ends up being not very bright at all. (I use the control a lot so I'm used to looking out for it.)

Silly me. Typical of REAPER to have (at least two!) solutions already available.
