Loading Acidized Wavs into Platinum

I have some 24 bit acidized wav files of sax. They play perfectly in Adobe Audition3, Sony Sound Forge, and Windows Media Player. When I drop them into a Sonar Platinum file at the correct BPM and correct bitrate (24) - the pitch drops by a fourth and it almost sounds like I'm using a mild 40ms or so delay on it. Here's a couple clips - any help is appreciated. - Shep

    I gave a shot at Groove Clip Looping the wavs. It 'fixes' the pitch issue. Why would I need to do that to these files to keep them in pitch?

    Hi Jshep.
    Because Groove Clip Looping IS
    Sonar's version of "acidizing" a wave.

    Thanks! I get that - but why did Sonar need to perform that to make it play correctly when the wav was acidized in the 1st place? Odd to me...

    I agree, it would make sense for Sonar to use the info in the acidized file to play it back, but it appears to ignore it. If you drop the same file into Beatscape, it plays back at the correct pitch, so there is at least recognition that the user might want a sample to play at its intended pitch.

    It sounds like the Project Pitch is not set to the correct key. Choose Project > Set Default Groove Clip Pitch and select the song's key. Otherwise SONAR will transpose automatically when you load the file, e.g., if the loop's native key is A and the project pitch is set to C, the loop will be transposed to C. This will not be an issue with drums because they have their native pitch set to "no pitch."
