Help - My clips are sped up!!! -ACID Product Family

Subject:Help - My clips are sped up!!! Posted by: robertchampion Date:11/16/2011 3:14:17 PM I am making clips from movies in Vegas software and then am trying to use Acid Pro 7.0 to create a podcast. I go to make the clips just fine in Vegas and then when I try to apply them to my Acid project they are super sped up unless I move the bpm meter to the left to slow them down that way. However, I don't want to have to do this every single time I add a 5-10 second clip of audio into the p-odcast that I am making. Is there any way to just disable what is happening here so that every time I try to import an audio clip made from Vegas into Acid Pro 7.0 that it doesn't speed it up. It sounds fine in Vegas but is all sped up in Acid Pro unless I screw with the bpm slide bar and adjust it every way that time. There has got to be a way to disable this so that the audio clips sound exactly like they sound when I created them right? I am banging my head against a wall here. Please help. Why is it doing this?

By default, anything between half a second to 30 seconds gets turned into a Loop ACID track type when it's added to the project. There are a few ways of bypassing this. The easiest way is to simply access the clip's properties (by right-clicking > Clip Properties) and under the "general" tab, change the ACID type to "One-shot"; this is the only ACIDized form of digital audio that ACID does not timestretch in any way. (i.e., What you hear is what you get originally.) The most thorough way is to make sure they are ACIDized properly before throwing them into ACID, otherwise ACID will make a guess.

I am making clips from movies in Vegas software and
then am trying to use Acid Pro 7.0 to create a podcast.
I go to make the clips just fine in Vegas and then when
I try to apply them to my Acid project they are super
sped up unless I move the bpm meter to the left to slow
them down that way. However, I don't want to have to
do this every single time I add a 5-10 second clip of
audio into the p-odcast that I am making.

Is there any way to just disable what is happening here
so that every time I try to import an audio clip made
from Vegas into Acid Pro 7.0 that it doesn't speed it
up. It sounds fine in Vegas but is all sped up in Acid
Pro unless I screw with the bpm slide bar and adjust it
every way that time. There has got to be a way to
disable this so that the audio clips sound exactly like
they sound when I created them right? I am banging my
head against a wall here. Please help. Why is it
doing this?
