THANK YOU for diving into this!!
No problem. Not being familiar with the song, I estimated using the lead in silence and the chord chart to guess vocals roughly started around bar 9. Knowing "eyes" lands on beat 1 of bar 9 would make it easy to precisely sync the lyrics to the music. My aim was to have the first beginning wav form to be just behind bar 9 start and I was able to accomplish that. Secondary was to see if any setting contained in your SGU was activating the time-stretch and apparently that doesn't seem to be the case. There are still many variables to weed out and find the source of the overall issue. I'll hang on the the two files and may do some further testing but my thoughts presently is PG Staff will probably be how it's ultimately solved.
