Hi all!
Yesterday I wanted to record from a tape machine and decided to try 24bit/96KHz instead of the (for me) usual 16bit/44.1KHz.
My configuration: Bias Peak, Fireface 800, MacMini with OSX Lion.
I could record and edit the recording, I saved it and moved it to another computer.
The problem: when I open it, no matter with what program, no matter if on OSX or WinXP, audio is played back at double speed! Today I reopened the files in the machine where yesterday I did recording and editing: Even Peak is playing back at double speed; iTunes = same!
What's wrong with my recording/setup? Is there a Lion related problem?
Thanks!
Edo

96/44.1 = ~2.177. there's where to look for your problem I think.

OK, but what should I look precisely?
The file was recorded at 24/96.
Peak shows 24/96 in the info. Peak is set at 24/96.

Today I did the following test: Instead of recording inside Peak I recorded inside Cubase 6 (24/96), saved as wav, edited in Peak and saved in wav (instead of aif as I did yesterday). Result: no problem.

Hence my question: Is anyone aware of any problem with Peak/aif/24/96?

That's really crazy! The wav files that 1 hour ago were playing correctly now play at HALF SPEED! Before it was double speed and now it is half speed!

I was thinking it has to do with aif or Peak but hasn't. I have no clue!

well is cubase downsampling that at the render?

it's some setting in Bias/Peak I suppose. or a bug!

In many years I never experienced a crazy thing like this one.

After opening Cubase and doing some work, I closed it and opened Peak: now everything runs fine, no more half speed or double speed play. It seems that Cubase "repaired" Peak! :-)
