    I just tried to import some audio files into Podium using the list view and they are playing in Podium at twice their speed!

    The files were recorded at 95bpm. Somehow once they reach Podium they are played at 180bpm or something similar.

    This sort of bug is *very* unusual for Podium. I cannot think of any reason why these files should not play at 95bpm which is also the project tempo.

    It is just so odd.

    I thought there must be some parameter or option I have ticked to set this off but I cannot think of any. I have sent through the project file. This is a total mystery to me. 😕

    I have tried the files in Tracktion and they playback without any issues at all.

    Thanks

    check the sample rate of the audio files… if their sample rate is different than the sample rate your arrangement is set to (eg. 44100Hz) then they will play back at different speed

    I’ve never tried it, but can you try adjusting the Sound Properties of the audio files so that the sample rate matches your arrangement’s sample rate? (I think there’s an option to change it)

    Hi Super_crunchy.

    The sample rate for the files is exactly the same as the project setting in Podium. I just checked it. So the project I sent to Frits should also confirm this.

    I thought you had cracked it for a minute. 8) Probably the most unusual thing of all was when the files were previewed in the list view, sometimes they would play back correctly and sometimes they would not.

    But I don’t remember the files ever playing back at their correct speed once they had been dragged to the arrangement.

    I even tried the Import File approach from Podiums main screen, and I was sure at least that would work, but I had the same problem.

    My guess is Frits will discover some technical zip zap, and say the x of z was not ticked and you had the g of t set to solo or something. 🙂 I would happily wlecome that right now. 😕

    I seems too strange to be a bug, but I have no answers right now, but I know Frits will almost certainly find the problem, user error or not. 😉

    The arrangement in your project is set to 88200 Hz samplerate. Are your sound files recorded in this samplerate too?

    Sorry about that Frits. I was sure the project I sent you had a sample rate of 44100 instead!

    To answer your question the files were recorded at 44100 and not 88200.

    Thankfully when I started a new project all was well with the files. 😉

    However… I have sent you another project file which has 44100 as the sample rate for the project but the same files are playing too fast. The sample rate is definitely 44100 this time. 😕

    Could this project have become corrupt somehow because it’s definitely on 44100 not 88200. Please check the project.

    The samplerate also shows 88200 for your new project. Just to clarify; the samplerate is set in the arrangement properties dialog. The samplerate set in the interfaces dialog is used as default when creating new arrangements.

    That was the problem! I had confused the two settings.
    I changed it 44100 and the files playback correctly.
    Thanks Frits 🙂
