Re: Imported .wav files don't play back in original tempo, but faster

2005-08-04 by bloodychoir

Hi Michael.  Check your sample rate.  If they're playing fast then 
you need to change the sample rate in the Audio menu to match 
whatever the waves are at.  Chances are the wavs are in 48 and your 
project is in 44.1.  Or vice versa, my brain's fried.  There's also 
the option when you import them to convert the waves to the sample 
rate your project is in.
