Does anyone ever have problems importing AIFF audio files into Logic?  I just had a conga player do tracks in his studio (Digital Performer) and when I imported them into Logic, they were great at the top of the track but then they were out of sync at the middle of the track --- the track is about 6min long.

Suggestions?  Can anyone tip me off?

Well not that kinda trouble but.. Couple things to check, is the tempo 
set properly in Logic? Did he record em free or did he stick to a click 
track?? Also maybe a dumb one but double check the sample rates too..
If its mismatched this could do it as well.. And congas are one of those 
instruments I know that might escape me as being at the wrong pitch when 
its played at a different rate.

So, the guy who recorded the tracks in Dig. Perf. said that he changed the sample rate to same some memory.  I assume that means that he changed it from 44.1 to something else.  What does he have to do to fix things?  Re-record at 44.1?  And-- are you saying that changing that, and that alone, will probably fix my sync problem? You mentioned that it might make the congas sound different but it didn't; they were in sync at the beginning of the recording and then delayed by many beats later on in the 6min+ song.

The two things I would want to varify are, what sample
rate was the session recorded in (In DP) and what is
your Logic project sample rate that you are in now.

"they were in sync at the beginning of the recording
and then delayed by many beats later on in the 6min+
song."

Was the BPM in DP exactly the same number (ie; 127.68
BPM) as it is in Logic? If Logic was at say, 127.25
BPM, I could see a drift happening over time. 
I agree with what someone else here wrote, confirm
that was no strange tempo ramp or shift in either
program...

Hope this helps!

I would also like to know about this. What if you do not know the original tempo of that 
AIFF file? How can you match the metronome/click to match it? I do this in Cubase by trial 
and error; I sync the start and then adjust the tempo until the middle and finally the end 
matches. In Logic, the AIFF file stretches and expands with my tempo changes; how do I 
avoid this?
