Audio issues once again. :(

I wouldn't know where else to post this...haven't ventured above the songs forum in so long, I don't even know what's up there.  (they're all minimized on my laptop.)
 
Anyway, this is so weird I'm not sure I can even explain it...
 
You may remember me saying that if I listen to WMP, then go right back to Sonar, I have to hit Alt O, U, enter to get my Sonar project to the right tempo and key (it wants to speed up.)  That's clicking on Options > Audio > enter, which doesn't seem to really be DOING anything, but it does.
 
So, here's the deal.  I had a quartet in here recording yesterday.  I sent them the mp3 and they said it's too slow and 1/2 step low.  I checked Sonar and sure enough, they're right.  I played something in WMP, then clicked back in Sonar and it's back in the right key and speed.  So I tried exporting it again and it's still too slow.  :(  Obviously it recorded correctly (at least I think it did...maybe it didn't!), but I can't figure out how in the world to export it correctly. 
 
IOW...if I open up Sonar and play it, it's too slow and too low.  If I listen to WMP first, then play it in Sonar, it's right. 

Do both SONAR and WMP play through the same audio interface?

Thanks Jan! That IS your name, right?  Or you were calling me Jan, like a couple of people in the world do.  Sorry..can't remember...

Greg...yeah...the headphones or the monitors.  Is that what you mean?

Bub---yeah, audible bounce.  I'd forgotten about that possibility.  How do I change the sample rate of my sound card? 

Thanks Reece.  I think that was the case, as I saw 48k somewhere. (and changed it.) 

I can't wait till you upgrade to Win7 so your instructions fit my set up.  But I did finally find it. :)

Still have the issue, but maybe it will go away when I reboot.  I'm trying to export it in real time now. 

Beagle


actually I upgraded to win7 quite some time back, I just don't ever remember the exact win7 directions. 

D:\setup.exe

You're up D river without a paddle.

You're up D river without a paddle.

no pa  les?

if you've set everything to 44.1k then it shouldn't need audible bounce, tho I don't know why it wouldn't do that.

In that case, I aint sayin' nothin'

can you post screen shots of your Echo software?
 
and of your sonar export settings? 

Robert,  you have the right to remain silent   ....

Janet, Yeah it sounds like you have sample rate setting issues. What you didn't mention was how you are creating the MP3?  Are you exporting from CW as an mp3 using the purchased encoder, or do you export as wav and then convert the wav to mp3 using another application? 

What Reece said, Jim.  :)

OK, what exactly do you want to see of the Echo software? 

Is this what you wanted to see?

Where it says 48000 Hz, it won't let me change that. I'll try to find where it DID seem to let me change it before and post that. 

That's what I thought when I saw that.
WMP gets control and changes it maybe.
