I imported an mp3 file into logic to trim it a bit. Nothing else is in the project, just a short mp3, but it's playing way too fast. The pitch is what it should be suggesting to me that the sampling rates are off but I checked and they're the same. Whats going on?
To fix the problem wit the import problem there are two solutions.
#1 simply update your Logic Pro x (garage band also) to the latest version. This update was made to fix the problem (bugs) the new Mac OS Catalina update cuased.
#2 (for my cracked Logic users)
(In garage band select share song, share to disc, select “wave” as the type of file to export an export to a place easy to find the file!)
Import desired audio
(in audacity select file, export... when asked to save make sure to save as wave file. Export to a place easy to find the file)
Doing so you just converted the original MP3 file to an uncompressed format. This is the same as the other workarounds in this discussion.
The problem seems to be related to changes in audio file handling in Catalina and how Logic is/was interacting with it. GarageBand is different to that respect.

How did you get the version you have? Updates are free, if you previously purchased Logic X you can go to the app store an update, look under Purchases.

This guy does a pretty easy explanation on how to fix it if you are trying to import an mp3 and are having issues.
Guys I know this is really annoying because it happened to me as well but I believe I have found the solution the solution is actually restoring your app if you have a previous time machine back up and it will restore the app to its previous condition while still upholding the new update thank me later much love guys Jae Bird the artist
until i updated to catalina, i could just drag a mp3 track in and it would play normally. now, i drag it in and it glitches and sounds like its played at 8 times its normal speed. I haven't changed anything in settings, so i don't know what's causing this.
I really hope you're right. So far I didn't see good report on this update and Catalina.
My prod set will not update to Catalina for a while. When I have some free time I will do on my test bench.
We will see...

I am having the same problem and cannot find a solution anywhere that does not suggest that the sample rate is the culprit. Have you recently updated to the new mac os?
If you;re both using Catalina, you've found your problem.
I'm having the same problem. So this is a Catalina issue?
I cannot find this option. Could you provide a picture of where to find it?
I tried that and it is still doing the same thing. I'm assuming it's an issue with Catalina
OK. Did you try the solution suggested in the thread I posted?
WD
could you explain this solution a bit better, not sure what you said was the solution.... and how, please just in steps
How do you update it? I don’t have any updates pending.
Is there a way of updating to Logic 10.4.7 without having to just buy the latest version? I am having the same issue after having moved to Catalina...
