Sound is crunchy and track not loading properly

[djsolomon]

Hi TVPaint forum,
I am working on a Mac mini running 11.7.5 (11.7)
I have updated my Wacom software - but just saw there is a TV Paint 12... will up grade. My track sounds oddly crunchy in TVZp and plays as it should on iTunes , the other problem is that the track is not loading as it should (and did last week) It loads a few frames in - so I miss a beat or two when the track is played.
I've restarted the computer and re loaded the track
And both problems remain the same. I would so appreciate some help with this. Many thanks, Debra

Hello, could you post a screenshot of the small "Proxy Settings" window which opens upon right clicking on the "Proxy" bar at the bottom of the TVPaint interface, please?

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the quick reply!

Was your project's framerate changed sometime after you created it?

Hi Dean,
I have reinstalled TVPaint, downloaded my music track again.That did not fix the problem.

Then I exported the project file and when that plays the sound is clean. So it's clean in and clean out, but when i am working on the file there is distortion. The file is loading properly, the distortion covered up the first few notes.

What settings might I be missing ?
thank you, Debra

Ps
I see that my reply to your framerate question didnt post. No I did not change the frame rate while working on the project. See post above to see my troubleshooting.

thanks again
Debra

Does this issue happen with any audio file?
You could try converting the file to another format or same format with a different codec, using Handbrake or something similar.
Also, would it be possible for you to post a short video of playback with the bugged audio, with the whole interface visible and sound timeline open?
