Question

End of clip in playback sounds like it's in fast-forward, or cuts off early

I am recording voiceover clips with a Blue USB microphone. The clips are generally short, 30 seconds or less. I'm running into a strange problem - around 15 - 20% of the clips, when I play them back, are either 1) cut off before I finished recording or 2) the last 5-10 seconds of the clip is in fast-forward (chipmunk voice).

Haven't been able to find a solution or potential cause for this, any suggestions would be very appreciated. Frustrating having to re-record a good chunk of my material!

Thanks!

    The only possible reason I can think of is that some other computer process is trying to access the audio device drivers thus interrupting the audio signal into Audition. This is a known 'recording' killer. It is also possible that whatever is causing this sometimes also changes the sample rate of the audio giving you your speeded up audio. Make sure that no other programmes that might use audio are running when trying to record into Audition. This includes Email and Internet notification sounds. If on a PC turn off all Windows Sounds so that this can't happen.
