HELP!

When I record via AcidPro 3.0 or load a wav file the playback of either is way too slow and sounds drone-ish.

Also, initially when I try and playback I don't get anything. I have to first go into my properties and toggle the playback device then I get some sound. It is then that everything playsback too slow and sounds drone-ish..

Anybody know what going on?

What sample rate are you recording/playing back at? What soundcard are you using?

Try reinstalling your soundcard's drivers. Try also a repair or reinstall of ACID Pro 3.0. Try reinstalling DirectX too.

HTH,

I'm recording at 44+,16bit, stereo.

My sound card is a Creative Labs 16bit En-something.

I'll try reinstalling everything tonight, but in the meantime is there anything I should look out for?

MUCH THANKS!

That's a PCI card, correct?

It almost sounds like there's a sample rate mismatch somewhere. It also maybe sounds like maybe the file didn't get ACIDized right?

Can you explain the steps you take while recording, including what you do after you record your take (if anything)?

Yup. A PCI card.

The steps I take when recording are as follows:

- I hit the record button
- do a sound check
- start recording
- and when I'm done recording I simply try to replay the track.

Much, much thanx for all yer help!

I removed AcidPro3, re-installed the driver to my sound card and then re-installed AcidPro3 and now everything works great!

Much thanx to all of you who helped me!
