Hello,
I have an applescript patch saving out audio files to a directory and a pd patch reading them for samples. unfortunately, the samples seem to be playing back at a much higher pitch. I thought it was a sample rate thing, but another set of files (that weren't produced by the applescript) and have different bit rates play fine. my samples play fine in quicktime and preview properly in finder. so why doesn't pd like my files?

[read (sample file path) samp1]
[soundfiler]

then an array for samp1

then:
[bang]
[tabplay~ samp1]
[dac~]

is there something I'm missing? something I should be looking for?
thanks!

I am losing my mind over this. I have no idea what would be pitching my samples up when every other sound I play is fine.

it even happens when I convert the aiff's to wavs. I just don't know what would make pd read the files differently than every other program.

I've had files written by other programs not play at all in Pure Data and I think
I narrowed it down to Audacity saving the files as 32bit floating-point...

Considering that your files are indeed playing (just at the wrong speed), I think
you are right that it is a samplerate mismatch. Double check to make sure that the samplerate that Pure Data runs at (in the audio settings) matches the samplerate of the files.

You might want to check to see if the samplerate the file is saved at is the same
as what is flagged in the audio files's header.

thanks! it turned out to be a sample rate problem. I was confusing bit rate with sample rate as well.
but I've got it all figured out now.

i do have this same problem with the linux version of pd i set the table sample rate the same the pd setting and i get a slight pitch shift or grained table ?
and pd will not let me set the delay 50 to 150 ?

what is the largest and safest size for [tabread] and [tadwrite]?
