wrong play back speed somtimes??
hi
i just recorded a choir on a MAc g5 with a 003 and a behringer ada8000 adat as the master clock. synced to 44.1 during recording it sounded fine. and play back was fine. it was a little grainy do to the quality of the Behringer. but definitly passable Today when i opened up the session it was fine, the when bounceing some takes, it started out fine, then, during bounce , everything was sped up lots and was way higher in pitch. now it;s always sped up in the session.even though when I first opened it up the playback was correct the same thing happens when i open up the session on my TDM system. I:ve tried importing the audio into sessions with different sample rates and not converting and I can;t figure it out. help please? |

Re: wrong play back speed somtimes??
This is almost certainly a clocking issue and by what you describe, I bet the Behringer was set to 48K(assuming you used the Behringer ADAT/Optical as the clock source). There are a few ways to approach this so here's mine(and I hope I am not backwards on this as its been years since I dealt with the same issue):
1-does it happen on ALL tracks(or are any at normal pitch)? 2-For audio that plays back too high, its probably 44.1K audio but being clocked at 48K(raising the pitch). 3-before anything else, check the Behringer clock setting AND the session clocking(Hardware menu?) and make sure everything matches and says 44.1K 3-Create a new blank session at 44.1K and go to File>Import>Session Data and point to the troubled session. Select to import all tracks, but MAKE SURE that Sample Rate Convert is NOT checked(you want to import 44.1K audio into your 44.1K new session with no changes) and once everything is imported, cross your fingers and hit PLAY. 4-if things are still a mess, create a new session at 48K(disconnect the Behringer so it defaults to internal clock) and do the Import Session Data(but again, do NOT apply SRC during the import). The idea is to figure out the actual sample rate of the audio files, and bring them into a session that matches. If you into the audio files folder of the original session, pick any audio file and right-click to select Properties, you might be able to see the actual sample rate(not at my PT machine and have no wave files on this computer)

Re: wrong play back speed somtimes??
so still no resolve. I:m going to try on my tdm system.
Again, the weird thing is that it worked during the session recording, and playback, than at home it worked for a while until I tried to bounce, then on, it;s fast and high pitched. eggg |

Re: wrong play back speed somtimes??
the only thing i can think of is if somehow the session recorded at22khz sample rate. is that even possible?
and the fact that it worked in the moment and at home. I'm really trying to avaoid t have to record the session again, even at that, how do I know this wont happen again. I:ve used my location rig dozens of times. the last one was 16 tracks for over 3 hpurs with no crash or any issues... |

Re: wrong play back speed somtimes??
think i solved it. on the transport there is a "halfspeed" option.
for some reason, it keeps defaulting to fast playback. I created a stereo track that I bussed all the tracks to and it plays at the right speed. What would cause this? how could I reset the default? why would "half speed" be the correct one? makes me belive the sample rate is 22khz what a HUGE reliefe. thought for sure I was going to have to rerecord. any insight into the different session playback speeds? many thanks |
