Hi guys, I've got a weird problem. Have 3 identical mechanisms for playing back 3 different .wav files. I plays fine, 2 other play back too fast (like 2 or 3 times faster). I converted all three .wavs from downloaded mp3s. The patch is super simple for now: open xx.wav - start - stop - readsf~ dac. What could be the issue? Thanks for any ideas.

If reading from [readsf~] the only thing I can think of is the sample rate the file were recorded at...don't really know the default mp3 sample rate (or if there's any...).
If a sample is at 44,100 Hz and your patch is playing at 48,000 Hz, then it will be played faster, but not 2 or 3 times faster..

Alexandros, thanks. I can't tell precisely how much faster it plays, it's just much faster than the file plays when i play it in iTunes. And I wonder how to fix that.. The weird thing is that some files play just fine and others play fast. The initial mp3s were downloaded from the same place but were placed there by different people. And then they were all converted in one and the same program into wavs. But give different results.

but what's their sampling rate? you should be able to get that information from the file (on OS X it will be displayed in the finder window when you select the file, for example).

Hi, yep, I've checked, indeed the sample rate varies, and bits per second as well. But now I converted all the files one more time, through those same programs as before, and they seem to work fine. I really don't know what's the difference between what was and what is now. If I find anything out, I'll get back here. thank you for trying to help!
