Audio file problem

Postby Wintersbane08 » Mon Oct 27, 2008 12:39 pm

I load my audio file for Single stroke roll rudiment into Audacity.

Audio info says:
Stereo, 16000Hz
32-bit float

Do my duplicating and speed changing ( to the duplicated sections).
Audio info says same.

I then export as ogg

Load new ogg into EoF.
EoF tells me sample rate is not 44.1khz. Song may not playback at correct speed.

I load the file back into Audacity.
Change from 16000 to 44100 which makes it faster.
I use menu select change speed. Drop speed -50% which makes it sound correct again.

Info now says:
Stereo, 44100Hz
32-bit float

Sounds correct. Looks correct.
Export as ogg

Load new ogg into EoF. Same error message.

Reload into Audacity.
Info now says:
Stereo, 32000Hz
16 bit
?????

Where did the change come from?

How do i fix it?

Any help would be great.

Have you tried to use 16bit encoding before loading audio into audacity? By the way, there are some .mp3 metronome files around with differents bpm you could use to create the songs.

Or you could just use the click-track generator in Audacity =\

Maybe you should start out using 44100Hz sample rate... that way you won't have any problems?
Go to "Edit> Prefences...> Quality> and change default sample rate to 44100Hz.

What are you recording with? Maybe you should just record directly into Audacity instead. That way you won't have any problems. You're not using Sound Recorder are you? If you are you can change the sample rate by going to File>Properties and clicking the "convert now" button.

If push comes to shove, download winamp, open your recording with it, right-click>send to format convert... and convert it to a wave file with 44100hz, then import that into Audacity, and you should be good.

Edit: This really should be in Off-Topic, or Mod support, since it's mentioning a problem with EOF.
