DP mixes detune when burned to CD...What's going on?

Post by lighght » Wed Dec 01, 2004 8:13 am

so, I'm new to digital performer and am in the process of mixing a few sessions I've got recorded (firewire 1814 device into a powerbook G4). I am bouncing to disk and then importing back into soundbites and exporting as an aiff file. Everything sounds fine in the mix and all. I import that file into iTunes to burn along with some other tracks mixed in garageband. All files still sound good in iTunes. burn the disk and the DP files have slowed down tremendously and drastically detuned... I can't figure it out. At first I thought it was because the files were 24bit as opposed to 16, but tried to reconfigure that with no luck. If anyone has any ideas it would help me a bunch...need to get these burned.

Thanks, Mike

Sounds like you're recording at 24/48. When you output your mix, at some point it needs to be a 16/44.1 wave file before you burn it.

Don't know much about DP so I can't help you there.

Ahh, not so strange if your looking for a slow down and pitch change . . .

that's right. the sound quality was still very high. almost opted to use that mix (noisey ambient music).
