I recently edited a wav clip of a diesel horn and iv'e inserted the cue points. The horn plays fine but it's way too slow. I'm guessing it has to do with the playback rate. (I'm using Goldwave BTW) I've tried increasing the playback rate but this doesnt work. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!!

RE: custom horn sounds

I will assume you have the correct sample rate and bit depth. A mistake here will cause problems.Exterior sounds are expected to be mono in most .sim filesCab sounds are expected to be stereo.A mistake in this area will affect playback pitch.You have two choices:1. Edit the .sim file and make the change there.2. Convert your file to the expected channel assignment.MikeA

RE: custom horn sounds

In-cab sounds need to be 16-bit stereo files with a sampling rate of 11,025 Hz. External sounds are 16-bit mono files at 11,025 Hz.
