Copy and paste question/bug

Post by Anorton »

I'm tracking in MultiTrack. Here is my workflow.
Pasting drums from DrumLoops HD
AudioBussing guitars and bass from JamUp and synth from Animoog
Recording acoustic guitars and vocals to MultiTrack through the Focusrite 2i2
I'm using a 64 gig iPad 2 with no problems whatsoever!

I'm pasting these tracks into Auria for mixing, but my mono tracks are being time stretched in Auria (the tracks are longer and play at slower speeds. My Stereo tracks paste fine.

I'm creating projects in both apps at 44/16; although, Auria doesn't have a setting for bits.

I can paste the mono tracks from MultiTrack into StudioTrack, then ACP them to Auria from StudioTrack without the time stretch thing. Weird.

I posted about this in Auria's forum, but they thought it was a MultiTrack thing with copying the mono files. I didn't think that made sense, but what do I know? Any ideas?

By the way, MultiTrack DAW is the most stable, easy to use, iOS DAW for tracking, AudioBussing, pasting, etc. I still use it more than anything else for my projects!

The General Pasteboard (Intua style, that multitrack uses), simply copies a wav file. All the information about the wav format, bitrate, bitdepth, number of channels, etc, is part of the wav file header. When making a Copy in multitrack, the region will be extracted and mixed/etc, to a file, and this file will use the same bitdepth and samplerate as the current project that is open. And then copied to the pasteboard. So, if the other app you're copying to doesn't read or use the bitrate field in the wav file header, this could be the result. It works going through StudioTrack as an intermediary, means there is nothing wrong with multitrack, as you surmised.

Are the tracks still pasted in mono when going through the intermediary?

I had the same issue exactly, the audio was always slower in Auria for some reason. I finally decided to use dropbox instead. It is much slower though.

Yes, the tracks are still being pasted in mono.
