Stuck and desperate... need assist... -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Stuck and desperate... need assist... Posted by: rusty Date:12/6/2001 11:08:41 AM Hello! Problem description: I add a wav file created in 'Forge' to the 'Acid' project where I'm constructing a video. Everywhere I know to check the sampling rate and bit depth are the same. However, when the wav is added either: a) The wav file slows down b) The rest of the project speeds up or slows down There is another element that could be causing this -- see first question below. Questions: = I've added existing sound effects from various sources, various formats and I have not bothered to check the sample or bit depth -- could this be causing theses problems? = What are the 'things' that could cause what I'm seeing? = What happens when you add an audio file that has a different sampling rate then the Acid project? = What would cause the entire project to change speeds? Like so many other Americans I was caught in company layoffs a week ago. Projects like this are suddenly far more then a 'hobby'! And this one is my very first, is so very important to me and has a deadline of this weekend. So any help or suggestions would be so very much appreciated. Thanks! Rusty
Subject:RE: Stuck and desperate... need assist... Reply by: Rednroll Date:12/6/2001 5:39:50 PM Did you accidentally add a tempo change marker on the timeline or a key signature change? You can tell if you did by locating to the point where this happens and see if these indicatures change under the master tempo and key signature section. Also, if you set the properties of the wave to "Disk base" or "preserve pitch"...it's under properties of the wave when you click on it...I think this is it?...don't have acid infront of me, but then it will playback at the wave's original tempo and pitch. Also if you set it to "Drums" it will keep the pitch the same, but the tempo will change.

Hello!

There is another element that could be causing this -- see first question below.

Questions:

= What are the 'things' that could cause what I'm seeing?
