Luckily this is just one song but I want to use the ‘Reference Track’ feature. So I created a montage and brought in the mix track to be mastered; then I brought in a Reference track. The mix track sounds fine; it’s in 96k; I’m leaving it there. The reference track was in 44.1k, so I resampled it to 96k after I heard this warbling sound; then put it back in the montage. No difference. I put the ref in the editor and it plays fine; back in the montage and it has that warbly sound. I can master the song in the editor, but I’m liking the new features in the montage and would like to be comfortable with it. So what am I missing here?
Thanks.
I don’t know what it means by “sounding warbly”, but maybe you could try to send the reference track signal elsewhere, since you have two choices:
Warbly is a term I came up with because I’ve never heard this sound before. BUT…I solved it. So if you want to know what I think ‘warbly’ sounds like, test it out.
A few days ago, I had been checking a track and experimenting at different tempos. I had turned on the ‘Playback speed’ button and I had it at 95%, so very close to the original speed. Turns out, it doesn’t turn off when you close the program, which is fine; I’ll know better from now on. So I don’t think it had anything to do with it being the ref track. When I put the ref track in the editor, the speed button shuts off. After switching between the ref and the editor, I felt that the ref was slightly slower than the editor. Since the speed button is something I rarely use, I didn’t notice it being on and it must have been on when I opened WL for a new project. Regardless, this is something that is permanently logged in my brain and now we know what ‘warbly’ sounds like. Thanks for such an immediate response and have a great day.
