Hi all,

Apologies if it is something very obvious but I have this patch here and I've edited it slightly to play the audio file contained in the same folder as the project file but for some reason every audio file I try to place gets faster, not its original tempo. I cant for the life of me work out why.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Im using max 8 trial at the moment.

Can you convert the file to aiff or wave format? If so, then you'll want to change the argument in buffer~ to refer to the converted file.

If you cannot convert the file, the reference file for buffer~ says that QuickTime converts the media file for you:

"The buffer~ object uses QuickTime to convert a media file (including MP3 files) into the sample memory of a buffer~, and requires that QuickTime be installed on your system. If you are using Max on Windows, we recommend that you install QuickTime and choose a complete install of all optional components."

Max is speeding up audio files and I can't work out why!
