Hi

I've changed the key in real band and merged to a wav file.

when I've opened in my DAW its playing the original key ?


Any ideas folks?

is it acidized?

oh, now you've lost me???

He asked that because some audio files contain extra information that makes them able to change key or tempo on command. Loops sold commercially do this.

The key changed as required in real band, and saved as such. It was only on after saving it to .wav and opening in sonar, it was the original key.

Hi Graham,

Does that same file play in the new key, or original key, if you open it in Media Player instead of Sonar?

If it plays in the new key in Media Player and in the original key in Sonar, then Sonar is reading the Acid info and transposing the audio automatically.

I don't use Sonar, but the reply from BbAltered in this thread I found appears to explain how to turn off this transposition:

Thanks all, opening in loop construction did it !

Great forum !!

Glad you got it figured out. This very issue caught me off guard and the DAW was Sonar.... I think BB/RB has the option to acidize the files, and I wasn't aware of it...So I imported the tracks and some were in the wrong key and tempo too IIRC.... I turned off the auto acidize function and waaa laaaa... all was good.
