Hello! I have a problem at the moment where whenever I drag a sample into Cakewalk, the file is automatically time-stretched to fit the BPM of the project (at least, I think this is what's happening), resulting in the sample sounding lower-pitched, or worse, having a kind of distorted rhythmic echo on it (for want of a better description). It's particularly noticeable on hi-hats and white noise FX samples. How can I stop Cakewalk from doing this, so I can use my samples as they were intended to sound?
This never used to happen, but I recently re-installed the program so maybe the settings got changed somehow. I've had a really good look through Preferences, however, and can't find a setting related to this issue.
