[SOLVED] .wav files not resampled from 48000 to Project Sample rate automatically

Hello! I found a problem: .wav files not resampled from 48000 to Project Sample rate automatically

File to test: dnb 03 - 135 bpm.wav

Reproduce #01:

  1. Create an empty project and set the 135 bpm speed of the project.
  2. Drag and drop the dnb 03 - 135 bpm.wav file
  3. You will see that it takes more than 4 bars.

Reproduce #02:

  1. Create an empty project and set the 135 bpm speed of the project.
  2. Open MediaBay (F5)
  3. Select the dnb 03 - 135 bpm.wav and choose align beats to project

  4. Drag and drop the dnb 03 - 135 bpm.wav file into the track
  5. You will see the same result! It takes more than 4 bars!

Do you have the same problem? Please vote, otherwise developers will not see and won’t fix this bug!

It sounds like that file has been tagged with the wrong tempo.
I seldom work with loops, but I experience what you describe every time I do. The way I solve it, and there may be more efficient ways, is to locate the loop in Media Bay and edit its property for duration expressed in bars and beats. The property might be called just ā€œBarsā€ I can’t remember for sure. It is expressed as ā€œx.yā€ where x is Bars and y is Beats and you should find it just above or below the Time Signature property.
In your case above, changing Bars to 4.0 should solve the issue.
Hope this helps.

I have tried, but the result is the same.

Weird I haven’t had this issue and I do similar stuff all the time.

Can you open the ā€˜editor’ for that region and show up the musical info from there? It should show the same thing as the media library, but I’d be interested to confirm.
(not my image, but this is the editor I’m talking about… shows the tempo and musical mode stuff, etc)

this one?

I think I found the problem and fixed it:
I converted this audio from 48000 to 44100 kHz and the problem has gone

Ya, but we’d need to enable showing the bars/beats info to help us here.

Ah nice. Ya ok so if you’re loading in a mismatched sample rate and not resampling it, it will behave this way.

It looks like a bug, doesn’t it? Why do I need to manually change the sample rate every time to my project sample rate?

At least in my opinion, not a bug.

I always work at 48k. Most things I’m importing are at 44.1k and so I check the convert button and create a 48k version of the file in my session folder. If I don’t check this, Cubase will try to play back a 44.1k file at 48k.
Cubase has always behaved this way if you load it without converting. I never saw a use for this behavior, but I think it works as intended.

There is a Preference setting for the import of audio files that handles Cubase’s behaviour for such cases.

A small tip for the future if you allow: Ask the others here whether there is a setting or a way to achieve waht you want without claiming a bug in haste. Makes conversation a bit more pleasant.
