Logix Pro X: Imported audio playing too fast

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)

  • update your garage band to the latest version.
  • Open a new audio project in garage band, or any software able to convert mp3 to wave.
  • import desired audio file into garage band (or other software ex. audacity sonar ect.)
  • export the entire project as wave file.
  • Open Logic Pro x import the file you just converted to a wave or.
  • Drag and drop into logic an this should fix the “chipmunk effect”




(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)

SOLUTION: Updating to 10.4.7 was the solution for me. I was still using 10.4.5 when I upgraded to Catalina and this problem came up (wave file that I imported played extremely fast, no way to change that). Also importing small mp3 files (e.g. guide clues) caused LPX to hang. After upgrading to the latest version of Logic Pro (now 10.4.7.) both problems were solved.
