He guys,
I finally took the time to look at PT and tried to import an audio file to play around with. When I import a wav file and try to play it back, it sounds very distorted. Now I have used BIAB audio with no problems what so ever. The same file plays fine in it. Also, I pulled up RealBand and it also plays the files perfectly. I compared the settings of PT with RealBand and they seems to match perfectly.
I tried other wav files too and still they play bad in PT. I really want to work with the vocal harmonizer.
Does the vocal harmonizer work in RealBand too?
Help! What am I missing?
Here's my system info:
Windows XP
EMU 1212 soundcard running in ASIO
Thanks
Earl Green

I've had some older projects that were done using MME sound drivers sound all distorted in PT when using ASIO drivers. Only answer I found was to switch PT over to Windows Sound Drivers for those.

Thanks Mac.
These files were recorded using only ASIO drivers. That's all I've used for over 2 years now. I use it in Sonar and BIAB. It must be something in PT. Same files play great in BIAB and RealBand.
Any other thoughts?

Earl - Out of curiosity did you import the audio into a new clean PT template? Was the distortion there from the get go? Are there any plugins on the tracks which are redlining? How does the playback look on the input/output meters? Have you tried having PT re-identify your soundcard? It doesn't make sense that RB and BB would be fine. Does it playback OK at 16/44.1? or even at 22khz? Just some thoughts. Let us know if you discover the reason? You know one of basic rules of troubleshooting . . . one you ask for help, you discover the answer yourself.   Cheers

Well I just contacted live support and they told me to use MME drivers. That just doesn't make sense. If I can play it in BIAB and also RealBand why not in PT.
I did use a new clean PT template and loaded a plain wav taken from a cd, still distortion. This files plays great in everything but PT.
I'm stumped. I don't want to record using MME drivers...ASIO is much better for my setup.
Maybe I'll try to record in PT and see what happens. There may be something there that's not right.
Frustrated!!!! HELP!

Hi Earl. What sample rate are you using? You may be running higher than your card allows.

Can anyone help? I've recently bought a new computer with 64 bit Vista as the Op System. My old version of Powertracks wouldn't load, so I've installed a 2nd Hard Drive with XP Prof on it. PT has loaded in fine, and I've loaded the Audio files for the inbuilt soundcard (NVIDIA nForce 630a), but PT is only picking up output drivers. XP Control Panel shows Recording facility as "Rear Audio input", but obviously PT isn't recognising this as a valid input driver.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
