wav files sound different when imported into session view

Post by James_Anthony » Thu Jun 24, 2010 4:48 pm

Hello All,

I have a number of different wav Drum Kicks.

When I preview them in the file browser they sound like they should; a good round, solid sound.
When I then drag those same wav files into my session view as a clip, they sound completely different; a higher pitch then they should be, it sounds worse!

Am i doing something wrong?

My audio setup within live: Sample Rate: 48000, SR & Pitch Conv: Normal

Thanks for the help!
James

Drag them into Arrangement View before and do any changes re tempo, warping etc if neccessary, then drag the clip over to Session View. Beleive me, I still havent found out why this is so but I had the same problem and this is how I solved it.
