[SOLVED] Question about "acidized" wav loops in Sonar (X1)
I don't use loops very much and I've run across this kind of problem every time I have. I just bought a song construction kit from Big Fish Audio that offers acid formatted wav loops/files. Each set of files has a folder name like "02 072 BMaj" or "03 104 EMaj". I'm assuming the middle numbers are the tempos that I should be setting the project to. But some of the bpm numbers are strange because they are not rounded off (072, 104, 98, 108, etc.) So I'm wondering if they really ARE the suggested tempo settings?
But the real problem begins when I load the wav file and click on "Groove Clip Looping". I've tried leaving the tempo at the default 120 and I've also tried changing the tempo to the suggested bpm according to the file name. But then I get the clip playing very slow or very fast. It also changes the length (in the timeline) of the clip. As soon as I turn the Groove Clip looping off that particular sampled audio, the tempo plays correctly again.
The way I've worked around this problem in the past is not to use Groove Clip Looping and just copy and paste the wav file over again. But I know that's not how it's supposed to work.
I hope I explained this well enough for someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks,
Lee
