Song Track is off key flat

[Ron Vermillion]

I can understand how a group of musicians playing a song for recording on a CD+G could pick the tempo up and play it at a tempo they are feeling at the time. It shouldn't happen, someone in this business should have a copy of the original song, and before ever getting to a recording session have the key, correct chord changes, any specific solo's etc and the tempo notated for the "band".

Maybe some guy is sitting in a little room with all his synth equipment and voice modifiers and doing this stuff all by himself, and on that day every piece of equipment he had was about a quarter of a semitone flat. Not likely. I'm just baffeled about how you could even do this. OK eveyone tune down to here ! TwanGGGGGGgggggg. Now that we are flat by about a quarter of a semitone, Ah One and a Two and a Three.

What's really weird is that I hace had several regular singers come up to me in the past several months and say, "Since you went to that program, some of your songs are a little different on the pitch." Is this even at all possible?

I got curious about this one and imported a cd audio file into Hoster.

Hoster will import and convert an audio file to KMA and id it as a CDCDG.

I was then able to play it as a CDCDG file and compare it playing from the disc using Windows Media Player, switching back and forth easily.

No difference in the pitch after importing into Hoster.

I have not found any pitch changes but I did notice after switching to Hoster the music was a little flat. Making some adjustments to the EQ in the soundcard software fixed that.
