Protools Bounce Issue - Pitch/Tempo change

Post by loganwexler » Sun Dec 06, 2009 7:18 am

I was recording at the UTSA studio last night, and when I bounced my mix it was about 25 percent faster and higher that we played and recorded it. Its only on the bounce, playing it back in protools sounds fine.

Digi 002, which has little lights to tell what sample rate it is using, was flashing green 44.1 k and I think it is usually solid light. Don't know if that could have caused it.

Anyone had this happen?

I have no clue... I've never seen this happen.

that is the classic 'wrong sample rate' problem... Joel posted a sticky about how to fix it in 'computer world'

The flashing light could be some "not locked" thing with the clock source settings...
I dont know the 002 well.

Are you clocking it externally? That's what it sounds like. Perhaps an outboard converter attached to the lightpipe. Outboard converter is most likely set to 48kHz.

How was the Digi 002 clocked, Internally? Or to an outboard piece of gear attached to it like thru SPDIF or ADAT lightpipe?

What was the sample rate of the Project in Pro Tools? And the sample rate of any other external devices?

Usually a flashing sample rate light means that the sample rate is NOT locked. It should always be solid green.

Cheers
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.
