Hi,

when exporting to MP3, I get a speeded up recording.

It used to work just fine. Only difference now I am using Hammerhead (which is excellent drum machine software, BTW)
as a drum track.

Anyone please help?

oh, and exporting to WAV is just fine too.
thanks

Thanks. Also when I zoomed (CTRL-1) in really close, I got a much better view of the sound sample and saw that it can indeed be edited to a precise level. Then I think (!) i got an exact beat. Do you know why - 1 minute 41 seconds? Isn't that incorrect or imprecise? Is it fixed in 1.3.8? Thanks

under the GENERATE tab, go to PLUCK, then put the MIDI value down to 10.

It sounds really good!

Enjoy this fantastic free program!
