Audio sounds like pitched like chipmunks, help!

My audio somehow has be pitched up. Not sure what happened. Nothing I did intentional.

My guess is some type of pitch or warp setting that I accidentally added.

How, where can I check and correct this???

Thanks

Have you possibly changed the sample rate of your audio interface? I’d suggest to check whether the sample rate of the project and the corresponding setting in the ASIO driver match. If they differ, you get pitch and tempo issues like the one you describe.

All the Audio in your Project or only specific Audio?

It’s not all the audio, only some sounds off.

The ASIO driver is set to 48k, but in fact I do see that the problem audio are 44.1k files.

How can I get all the 48k audio files in the project to convert to 44.1k?

When you import the Audio File into the Pool it should ask you if you want to convert the sample rate when there is a mismatch between the Project & File. I don’t recall if there is a ‘don’t ask again’ checkbox (or how to undo it). Try importing the Audio again & see if it asks.

You want to go the other way. The Audio Files and Project should match the sample rate of the Audio Interface. If you prefer to work at 44.1k you should change the ASIO setting.

Either sample rate will work fine but you should pick one and stick to it (as best you can based on circumstances). If you are just starting up with DAWs pick 48k.

EDIT
Just to clarify there are 3 different things that have sample rates

  1. Your Audio Interface & its ASIO Driver, this is where data is physically converted into audio signals
  2. The Project’s Setup - this should match the ASIO setting. If not the whole Project will play at the wrong Pitch & Tempo
  3. The Individual Audio File’s sample rate should match the Project. If not those files will play at the wrong Pitch & Tempo

Thanks Martin90! Thanks Raino!
Much appreciated! :slight_smile:
