I just finished transferring a show, and had something weird happen that I've never encountered before...
Listening back to the show on my harddrive, everything's slower than it should be. I listened to it off and on as I was doing the transfer (Tascam DA-302>M-Audiophile 2496 via SPDIF/with Soundforge 7.0), and everything was fine during playback.
The show was recorded at 44.1, and I transferred it at the same sample rate. Any ideas?

it sounds as though you might not have locked the sample rate and it may ahve switched to another- maybe 48. it soudns like the sample rates are not matched up

Nick, maybe a dumb question, but was the AP2496 card set to 44.1 in the M-Audio control panel as well as soundforge?

soundforge wont let you record if the settings on the audiophile 2496 and soundforge arent the same... it gives you some "you cant do what you're trying to do" error message... I didnt want to have to wait on it to resample from 48 > 44.1 (spyware problems on my comp made it take 5+ hours to resample a 1 hour set), so one time i taped a show in 44.1... had the same problem with the wav sounding slower than it should when transferring trying to do it at 44.1. I had to transfer it at 48 then resample to 44.1 even though it was recorded at 44.1

that sounds wack jill :)

i had a simular problem once like that, i was using a sekd prodif plus > wavelab, and it came out sounding higher pitched and faster, and when i played the dat with it, it was seriously different, so i went with my UA-5, and it worked fine. i never understood why it did that, but keep workin on it, you'll figure it out.

Okay...with the help of kevinp I figured out the problem. The SPDIF sample rate in the Audiophile control panel was set correctly, but the Codec sample rate setting was off. Switched it and it worked like a charm.
Not sure why that would matter, but problem solved.
