Hi ALL

I hvae a question regarding soundclick.com. I've uploaded a few mp3 and they seem to be playing at a slower time than the originals. Would you guys happen to know by chance anything about this? The converstion from wav to mp3 was done using samplitude, and the converted file sounds great; however, the uploaded version just sounds slower. Any help as always would be greatly appreciated! THanks all and Merry Christmas!!!!

Hmmm, I never noticed it with the songs I posted there.

Does it still happen when the song is downloaded from soundclick? Because it might have something to do with how the song is streamed. Just a thought.

You gotta go to one of the pages on Soundclick where you edit and it talks about this issue. It then can fix them. I think it has to with the khz setting. like 4400 or 4200 I think. When I get home I will try and find the page that lets you fix that issue.

Ok so after you sign in. Go to edit your My bands/artist account(s) by clicking edit next to your band name.
Then go to the Songs area it is the third section down.
Click the link that says -- my hifi mp3 plays too slow or too fast, or it plays with a crackling distortion.
Then go to the problem song and click re-encode this song.


This stuff happened to me when I would export my cakewalk stuff into a wav then I'd use a cheap/free mp3 encoder. Now, I use iTunes to encode my wav into a mp3. Say what you want about iTunes but its a bad mutha of a program.

Thank you all!!!! I will give these recomendations a go!

Hi All. Thanks again!! OK, I'm pretty sure the problem is the sample rate. These were recorded from cassette to digital at 4400. Soundclick mentioned using updated flash programs etc. for the uploaded songs to work propoerly. Wish I would have known this befor etransfering. I'm using Samplitude and have not found any info to converting the sample rate from the program itself. When using Soundclicks reconversion mentioned above, the audio sounds terrible. I am sving as MP3 but the sample rate is also being transfered. Any ideas or programs out there that can resample? Auducity? Or any other website like soundclick.com? Thank you@!!!

[Anthony M]

Yeap, it was the sample rate alright. Too high. And using their recoding was worse then the results I got, but the sound quality is pretty bad once resampled then converted to mp3. But atleast it works now. Thanks again all for your help! I've since switched to 4100 from this point on.

Hello Anthony,

I don't know what you are using to record your music on. I use cakewalk to record onto my pc and always use the 44000 sampling rate. Once my project is complete and I have crunched/mixed everything into one finished track, I export that track to my pc's music folder. Windows allows me to select which sampling rate I want to export the wave as, via a drop down box. I'll select 41000, click ok and presto...done. I'll then select that finished wave file for my mp3 converter.
