Imported audio tempo problem- An urgent question!!

Hey
I'm hoping someone might be able to answer a rather urgent question!
As I dont have room to mic up a kit in my house I recently got our drummer recorded at a recording studio and then got the tracks on cd to bring home and import to cd.
Basically our drummer played along to a click track and some guitar in the studio and when these were played together in the studio they were fine and bang on, however...
When I import the audio from the CD into the sonar the temp seems to be slightly faster and by the end of the song it has finished about 20/30 seconds sooner.
 
Googling around it seems to point to samplerate, bit depth etc but these all seem to match.
 
Im pretty desperate as we are meant to be recording everything else today!

    if it's lined up correctly at the first then drifts apart by the end of the song then it's likely a sampling rate or clock mismatch problem.

    but you didn't give us any more details.  what is your sampling rate in your project?  what is his sampling rate?  what equipment did he use to record it?  especially including what soundcards and what software and OS is he using?  is this an audio recording of drums or MIDI?  what equipment do YOU have?  what soundcard are you using?  what version of sonar? OS?

    give us as many details as you can and then some.

    Thanks for the reply.

    It turns out its not my set up but the studio we got the drums recorded at.

    I noticed that actual drum track was shorted on the cd thay they gave me.

    I've been over and its the samplerate, when its importing into his cubase set up its importing at 48 whereas my click track was recorded at 44, thus the drummer has actually played along to the wrong time on the click track, and everytime he changes his sample rate it automatically changes back to 48. The result is about 25 seconds too short!

    Stick with Sonar is the lesson here!

    Gunna re record them as they are no good in this state.

    It might be worthwhile trying the Cakewalk Time-Stretch audio effect on the clip.

    Select clip > Process menu > AudioFx > Cakewalk > Time/Pitch Stretch 2
