sure you didn't have a sample rate setting wrong when loading/working in SDII? i don't know your hardware config, but it's certainly possible in a number of scenarios to think you're loading at one sample rate and actually be clocking to/recording at another..then when the CD recorder becomes the master clock at 44.1...poof, 48k audio sounds awful sloooow...

If it's a decelleration effect and not a jump from 48 to 44.1, you have a sync loop going on. Check your audio engine settings to make sure you are not set to input aes or spdif into the audiomedia card.

Good luck.

Thanx, it's not a sample-rate problem. SD II defaults to 44.1, 16-bit stereo. I shall disable digital input and see what happens. The really strange thing is that when I disconnected the digital input cable playback got even slower. There's nothing in the manual about this, but I'll try disabling the digital input in the setup menu.
Thanx all
;)

Check your hardware config & make sure that it is set to Internal sync not digital

DOH!!! :eek:I forgot to reset the synch to internal after recording. I wonder why the file played at all. Thanx for all your help.
