Audio File Playback sped up?

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

Hello there, I have a problem where an audio file I’m trying to put into the audio player is playing back at a higher speed (bpm) then the original. I have listened to the source .wave file in several different players to assure that it’s not the file itself.

Mac Mini late 2012, i7 2.8quad, 16g Ram, OS 10.15.7
Gig Performer 4.5

Rackspace itself is set at 116bpm, wave file in question was exported at 116bpm and I have the rackspace override the global BPM (as I run a click track from the global). But the song seems to running at about 130 or so.

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong here?

Sounds like a sample rate mismatch…

Is Gig Performer the only program running and using the Audio Interface?

4

Yep, I inadvertently had my sample rate set wrong on GP as my samples/tracks all come from a 44.1 machine (Kronos) and my GP was set at 48.

Thanks everyone.

This should not make a difference.
Maybe in Gig performer have set a samplerate but outside of Gig performer it was set to a different sample rate.
Is Kronos your Audio interface?

Hmm, I don’t think so. When I turn on the Kronos, Logic will attempt to select the Kronos as the interface (I have to into preferences to reselect the Focusrite 18i20). But since logic wasn’t open, shouldn’t be an issue.

I did go into General Settings>Audio and found the sample rate in GP was set at 48. Once I moved it to 44.1 (the rate on all Kronos wav files), it fixed the speed.

I’m glad to hear you say that it “shouldn’t” make a difference as I cannot see how sample rate would affect BPM but it seems in this case it did?

What is your Audio Interface?

Focusrite 18i20

And when you change the Samplerate in gig Performer to 48kHz, is it changed in the interface also?

10

Yes, it appears that the interface mirrors whatever I enter in GP.

11

That doesn’t matter. The audio player does not support time stretching (yet) so the bpm does not impact playback.

12

And when you set the samplerate to 48kHz the audio is pitched and playback is faster?

I had something comparable to this with the audio player and fooling around with sample rates outside GP. Then I clicked ‘reset interface’ in the options → audio of GP, then ok and that took care of the problem
