Hello All
Apologies in advance because the answer to this is posted elsewhere - I know because I fixed the problem once before, but can’t find that answer now.
When I import MusicXML into Dorico, very often the tuning of the notes changes, by about a semi-tone. The notes look the same on the page (i.e. not transposed), but they sound higher. I think this is something to do with the sample rate, but I can’t find the fix in Dorico. Any help would be much appreciated.
That sounds suspiciously like a mismatch between the sample rate your sound card is using and the sample rate your computer has set.
Check Edit > Device Setup and compare it to the sound card setting in your operating system.
Thanks Derrek, that seems to have done it - my Mac was set to 48, and Dorico at 44. 1. I made the switch and it seems correct now. Going forward, will Dorico now save that preference globally for future imports? Or is this something to watch for with each import?
Thanks again for the help.
I suspect some of my programs (Cubase, perhaps) were switching the sample rate back, which is why I eventually decided to set everything to 48K, and I have not had the problem since. Much depends on what other audio software you have and how well behaved it is.
