VO sounds like chipmunks in viewer

When I play a VO in the viewer it sounds like it's sped up big time. When I bring it to the timeline it sounds fine. It's an aiff file. I've tried a couple of different VO's and the all do this. Any reason why?

Maybe you could post a sample for someone to have a look at .... as for the why, the Viewer and Timeline windows treat clips very much differently. The Viewer is playing the clip back according to its source settings whereas the Canvas/Timeline is playing it back according to the sequence settings as applied to that source.

Audio output using Logitech Clearchat Pro USB headset sounds like chipmunks

I use a Logitech Clearchat USB headset for online meetings daily. On my previous machine (Black MacBook 2GHz) the headphones and mic worked fine. I just upgraded to a new 2.66 Unibody MacBook Pro and while the microphone works fine but the audio in the headphones sounds like chipmunks. If I switch the audio output to the speakers, the audio sounds fine.
Logitech claims that since the drivers the headphones use are built-in, it's not their issue. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this problem and how I might be able to get it resolved.
Thanks.

' orangehat I sincerely hope you (we?) get an answer on this one! I ordered exactly the same headset the same time I did my 17-inch MBP. Still waiting for everything to be delivered - so can't say as yet whether I have the problem too. Hoping not.
' Hoping there's an answer to your question anyways so I can get an idea of things before my kit lands (IF that EVER actually HAPPENS!!!)

Converting cassette to cd using garageband. Voice on cassette sounds like chipmunk. Is there a way to fix the speed during recording on garageband, so the voice sounds normal?

Librarian Asst. needs your help! Trying to preserve WWII veteran's interviews presently on cassette. However, on one cassette the voices sound like chipmunks (speed too fast during recording). I know how to transfer the cassette recording onto garageband. I just don't know how to transfer the recording at a slower speed, so that the voices will sound normal. Is there a way? Please help. Thanks.

You could try two things (sorry, I can only point you to the current settings in GB'11, since I no longer have GB '09) but it should be very similar.
The easiest thing would be, if the vocal transformers do work. You can change the pitch of a voice using a "Vocal Transformer" effect. Click the "Edit" tab in the "Info" panel and click an empty brick to add a filter:
If that does not work, try to change the timing of the track. Enable "Follow Tempo&Pitch". If GB '09 does not have "follow tempo & pitch", record your tape directly into a Real Instrument track in GB to record a purple region.
Use the tempo slider in the LED display to lower the tempo, till the recording does sound more natural.
Good Luck,

Hi,
I have the same issue on my HP Win8 desktop.My voice is disguised as chipmunk to the other party. I can hear everybody fine. I followed the exact instruction and tried search for the folder named "Skype" through writing %appdata% in the Search /Run box as I've read in the previous post, but it did not find a such folder. I don't have a problem using Skype on my laptop supported by Win 7. Anybody out there knows how to fix this? I reinstalled Skype and still the same.
What is the version of Skype program installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

Changing voice pitch to sound like chipmunk

I understand one has to go to the timeline view and then it is easier but i cannot seem to find how to do this in IMOVIE 08. I just want to make a video where my voice is really high pitched

The movie sound track behaves slightly different from normal tracks.
For me the following did work:
Silence your movie track by clicking the speaker icon in the track head
Create a new basic real instruments track.
Copy the regions from the movie track to this new track.
On this new track you can set all filters as you like.
To set a chipmunk voice:
select the new track
open the Inspector (cmd-I)
click the edit-tab, and click a free field to add an effect, select "vocal transformer" and set it to "Chipmunk"
To be able to answer your question why your helium breath sounds "echoy", it would help to know what kind of sound your movie has (music, vocals?) and what kind of real instrument track you used for the audio movie track.

Incoming calls sound like chipmunk voice/ outgoing my voice is very deep

I am new to this forum in real need of help. I guess this occured because my son played with my phone, but now about 90% of the time the incoming calls sound very high pitched (even the ringtone and voicemail messages) and when I answer the phone people think it is someone else (a man). I have not been able to figure out how to fix it and when I called AT &T they could not help. I do appreciate any advise on how to fix this without redoing all my settings (if possible). Thanks in advance!

Another option could be trying to reinstall the device OS. Click here to know how to upgrade device OS.

Music sounds like chipmunks

All our music is on a sub drive. We added a new drive for daily use. I moved the iTunes music folder to look at the old file and then imported them to my iTunes Library. Now they are visable and play but the timing is way off.
I tried the error correcting before importing but that seems to be for new CD additions.
Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726

HD videos from Sony NEX-3 sound like the Chipmunks

My Sony NEX-3 720p MP4 videos sound like the Chipmunks. Video frame rate appears ok but the sound is way too fast. The files play nicely e.g. in Preview though.
iMovie imports the files nicely, using the internal SD reader in my iMac. However, the sound is out of sync in the imported files. From the sound of it, it seems the audio runs at least at 2x the speed.
Currently I use Handbrake for converting the camera clips into 25 fps m4v and then importing these into iMovie but it is a pain.

Can you tell me how you imported the video from your NEX-3 to iMovie? When I try, the camera automatically opens iPhoto and imports it there. If I open iMovie, all of the selctions are grayed-out so I can't import them. I've tried getting the video straight from the camera but can't seem to do that either. Can you help?

I sound like a chipmunk with BlueTooth

I've recently paired a blue tooth headset with my Macbook and recorded into GB 4.1.2. So easy to achieve but now I sound like a chipmunk - not just in pitch but also in the speed at which teh recording is played back. Now it's late at night here and I may be doing something wrong but I'm 99.9% sure I'm not. No FX nothing.
Hope there's someone who's had this too?

i'm not sure this is a problem you can overcome, it depends if the bluetooth device can be set for a higher sample rate. it's basically the same problem as described here:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#toofast
see if your device can be set to the same sample rate and bit depth.

Audio sounds like a chipmunk

Once in awhile while recording audio and a demo at the same time, the audio will speed up and sound like a chipmunk upon playback. I have been using both Windows 7 and Windows XP and both seem to have the same issue. It mostly occurs when clicking from one function of a website or clicking within a software program while demoing. Any ideas as to what the cause might be?

Hi,
Could you please tell the version of your Captivate? any additonal details regarding recording mode, settings, devices etc?
Please try-
-- to use a different external device to record again, I believe you used same device on both XP and 7 machines?
-- record just the Audio for a few slides -- Audio -- Record to Slides/Project
-- Do a test record for a different application as well, just to confirm, it has nothing to do with website.
Thanks!
