Charlie, sorry I confused the discussion with my ACW excursion. My issue is with the File>Import>Import Audio function stretching the audio it imports. It's a very simple process, or always has been before. First, select the file to import. In my case, it is a 16/44 vocal track. Second, select the insertion point. Since my audio file starts with the BiaB 2-bar count in, the insertion point is chorus 1, bar -1, beat 1, tick 0. That's it.

Noel is indeed a weapon, but that's not much of a secret. Ha!

Here's the email I sent support:

I’m running the latest build of BiaB 2024 Audiophile on a Windows 10 PC.

"Problem: I’ve run half a dozen tests, and half the time BiaB is time stretching audio files when importing. Below is my thread on the forum.

Here is one of the problematic BiaB song files:

Here is one of the audio files that gets stretched upon import to BiaB:

It is a vocal track recorded in a DAW with BiaB stems and includes the two bar count in. So the import point is bar -1

Here is what the track SHOULD sound like coming out of the DAW with the vocal track properly synced:

After importing, the vocals start late and get progressively later as time goes on. When I export the vocal track back from BiaB into my DAW I can see that the vocals have been stretched. The vocals are in the correct key however.

I have reset to factory settings in BiaB and completely rebuilt the song file from new with no change in results."

Thanks again, Charlie!
