Help! Playback Tempo is Faster and Higher Pitch

[david40]

I just had the strangest thing happen. While editing my song all of a sudden I noticed my song was playing back at a faster tempo and a higher pitch. I am not aware of making any changes like that and I wouldn't know how even if I wanted to. Even stranger, if I Export the audio,  the audio file plays at the original tempo and pitch. I have no idea why my playback inside Cakewalk is doing this?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You

Check that your sample rate is the same as when you started the session and that it is not trying to conflict with your Windows SR setting.

Thank you much. That tip gave me the clue I needed.

I think I figured out what happened. I was taking a several hour break so I put my PC to sleep and turned off my UA Solo audio interface. When I woke up the machine and turned the Solo back on Cakewalk detected the interface as being disconnected and loaded a different ASIO driver which I am guessing defaults to a different sample rate, and when I switched back to the Solo ASIO driver I/it failed to reset the sample rate, but this morning I rebooted the computer where I normally turn on the Solo first, and everything is back to normal.

Although I must say, I kind of liked the song at the faster tempo and higher pitch, cause now the original sounds like it's dragging, in comparison.?
