Thanks for your help! Yea, I am looking for a Pitch Bend, so Ill take a look around. Also, if I changed the key of the sample, it would be bad, since it's a movie sample, and the voice would become messed up. Also, yea, I got rights to use the sample, but I'm not NEAR good enough to distribute ANYT...

Richard my knowledge of sound and distortion is very limited. My approach was to change one variable at the time and see the results. Kind of brute force approach. -=terrry(Denver)=- actually i find that this is the best approach to solve any kind of problem, nothing brute about it. :) it also work...

andy thanks very much for the timeshift trick you explained here.
it sure made things much easier for me, although i suppose it would be much better to fix the latency problem than to start messing with measuring how much to move my tracks here and there.

They both make the sound louder (or quieter), but one is a "destructive" edit (actually changes the recorded wave), and the other is "non-destructive" (doesn't change the recorded wave). Try them both to see the difference. :D Which is destructive and which in non-destructive? the gain slider is th...

I also have an 800 Mhz pentium and i never had this problem of overloading the computer. i can't remember exactly but i definately had more than 10 tracks rolling at the same time... but it's not just what computer you have it's what you have on it - if there's too much software/media on it, or mayb...

it does really make more sense that if you record at 44 KHz and playback at 48, you'll hear a higher pitch and not the other way round- recording at 48 Khz and playing back at 44 Khz...
it all comes down to mathematics and physics in the end, doesn't it?

Trevor im no expert but maybe you have the audio I/O muted on your computer. ie click on the speaker icon on your computer that is on the bottom right near the clock in windows. look for I/O and make sure the mute button isnt ticked. Or it may be that you have plucked something in the wrong hole, m...

if you can record only segments but not a whole track i would say that indicates that the problem is with your computers power. you can try free some memory by closing unnecessary tasks, also defragmentizing is good. if nothing works in this direction, you should consider upgrading to a more powerfu...

i would recommend the Native Instruments compressor - they actually have a few so you get their pack. you can play with EQ settings to get the kind of sound you want. EQ'ing usually comes naturally to most people because its easy to tell the difference when the eq is changed. working with a compress...
