Pitch-shift on tracks

Postby Babylon Disco » Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:31 pm

Seriously,
sometimes when I upload tracks they play in a lower key on this page. The pitch of the track is lowered, but the length stays the same.

Has this happened to anyone? What can I do to stop it?

Shift your entire track's pitch up so that when you play it on here it sounds right. :P

I've never noticed the problem though.

Too hard, I'd have to analyse the exact pitch-drop and adjust accordingly.
I'd much rather see an easy explanation to wtf I'm doing wrong. The file plays just fine at my computer, but in a lower pitch online. It's just so friggin weird.

Are you uploading to archive.org or straight to this site?

I always upload to archive and I've never had any problems.

Either way, that's a really weird/random problem. Maybe try a different format? Wav instead of mp3? I don't know. :P

You can only link to mp3's, and I use my own FTP.
I could try to re-upload it I guess. But then I'd have to re-add the track.

thats so strange. that might be something to do with the sample rate you export at. make sure its 44.1k other than that, i have no idea what would be wrong with the player.

It's the one I always use, FL's own MP3 encoding.
I guess I could try to export it to wav and encode it with CE2's encoder instead... but I still think it's weird that I'm the only one with this problem.

I had the same thing happen to me a long time ago. I uploaded some really old tracks and they were all playing like some bent and screwed swisha house record. I went and deleted them and never tried to upload them again.

So far all the newer stuff I've uploaded has been at the right speed. I have no idea what is the problem.
