Woke up and all my songs increased by about 10 bpm and transposed globally

VST Live

I’ve NEVER seen this. All the BPM are still set to their originals, but everything seemed faster and off-key. So I tapped along on a tempo app on my phone and everything is faster. I had to slap a capo on my guitar (a full step) to get everything in tune.

It was working fine when I went to bed and this morning it’s faster. If i adjust the BPM in the transport to something like 120 (from a song original of 81), all hell breaks loose. If i get it back to 81, it’s still faster. It has not effect on the transposition. LITERALLY ZERO change in my hardware setup between last night and this morning.

Sounds you have changed the resolution from 48kHz to 44.1kHz somewhere.

I could repro that once, but only once:

  • change the sample rate in the Hub, say from 44 to 48 kHz and
  • then load a song that had been done with 44 kHz,
  • I got the effect you reported (for audio tracks only, of course).

Is there a way to see what sampling rate i selected when creating the project? Everything I do in Cubase is 44.1; and as I said, it ran fine last night after updating my MOTU drivers. Every time i start VST Live it always shows 48mhz in the start screen and I change it to 44.1 as I feel like sometimes tracks fall out of timing. Perhaps it’s better for me to completely start a new VST Live project with everything I’ve learned over the last few months rather than keep trying to edit this existing project. I’ll lose a lot, but I guess that’s the price I pay to learn it.

Maybe try changing the sample rate in the MOTU control panel instead?

I have tried that. I’ll play around, but switching to 48 a few moments ago fixed the problem but I can’t figure out why this has just popped up after months of no issues like this.

Two places where you see Sample Rate

  • the Hub
  • Devices → Audio Setup

It’s good we both saw the thing on two different platforms. :blush: Devs will be delighted. :grin:

I’ve been trying to make sure it’s changed (edited: make sure it’s set to 44.1) in the hub before I open the project. But in either case, I’ve also then opened up the MOTU control panel and confirmed that a change in one is reflected in the other.

One thing I did differently yesterday was to go into windows settings and made sure the defaults in system want 44.1

But again, before I went to bed it was fine. (Maybe! Now I have no idea. Once the doubt creeps in, I don’t know. Maybe my brain was too sleepy to hear it was slightly faster!)

The other thing you did yesterday was update the MOTU drivers :grinning_face:
