Charlie, I'm going to summarize in CAPS for those who are skimming this. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH TIME STRETCHING DURING AUDIO IMPORT, NOT AUDIO PLACEMENT DURING IMPORT.

Back to your note. Yes, I say "Here is an image from my DAW..." which is Studio One. The top track is the vocal audio file I imported into BiaB. The bottom track is the same audio file after I dragged it back out of BiaB. The bottom track has (apparently) been stretched by BiaB. That's the only conclusion I've drawn.

The ACW paragraph was just an independent excursion to see if the entire track (not just the vocal track) was correctly interpreted as 118 BPM by BiaB. It was not. If this is normal as you say I'm surprised, but it doesn't impact my issue as I did not use any ACW settings whatsoever. I just analyzed the song file and then closed without saving. Sorry I wasn't clear on that.

THANKS for the assist! Still searching...
