Looks like the audio file is not the same sample rate as your project... note the flashing Sample Rate display at the top of DP. Fix that and maybe it will work properly.

Thank you HCMarcus for the quick reply and tip. I took you suggestion/opened an existing DP file and that seemed to be the cause of the issue. Thank you again. MIK

I'd prefer the bar, thank you.

Many years ago, my wife and I and our casual band played a certain city's (not my own) police force Homicide Division Christmas Party two years running. I'll just say, Ethyl, there was not a water cooler to be found anywhere nearby.

Years ago, my ex-wife and I were friends with a couple and the husband was a sheriffs deputy. We got invited to a party where we were probably the only people who weren’t in law enforcement. I should just stop there. I’ll just say those folks know how to party! Image
