Hi Peter,

Sounds from other sources sound fine and natural. It is just the sounds =

that I import into the sound card! So it isn't the playback of all sounds.=

Just  the ones that have been imported to Audition 1.5.?

I'm stumped!

My best,

john

Have you tried playing sounds from other sources, like  Youtube? If they
aren't affected then maybe it's happening at transfer time. I  assume the

playback speed to vary. Very disconcerting, but being digital it has no  ef=

once it's transferred to a computer.

Help! I have just set up a  new desktop computer with a Soundblaster X-f:
Xtreme Audio sound card. I am  using Adobe Auditions 1.5 for my sound
editing. I am importing sound from  my Portadisc MDP 500 or my SV 3260 DAT=

through
Optical IN. (this seems to  be the only option with this sound card).
However, the recordings, when  played back through my computer, sound
"speeded
up". For vocal it is like  someone has taken a slight puff of Helium gas.
The
imported recordings  sound fine when listened through the DAT or
Minidisc.Is there someway to  "slow down" the imported sounds. Sorry for
such an
amateur description, but  any ideas would be most welcome.
