Title: Sampling problem?
Post by: Kinnikinnick0718 on May 19, 2016, 22:53:45
I wanted to make a song, but when i tried to import a .wav file it sounded like this
https://mega.nz/#!g49SkCiZ!7xKxJ9Qfv5hJFx1129kSobrPqvCyfsN7ubMJnAuPb58 (https://mega.nz/#!g49SkCiZ!7xKxJ9Qfv5hJFx1129kSobrPqvCyfsN7ubMJnAuPb58)
The first bass sample from 0:00-0:02 is the actual file itself (how it was intended to sound like), and at 0:03 is what the sample sounded like when I imported it to OpenMPT.

What's with the weird noise at the end?
btw, the file is 16-bit stereo

It probably uses an unsupported codec (possibly IMA ADPCM, where stereo sample import is broken up to OpenMPT 1.25), is malformed in some way or is not actually a Wave file. Without looking at the file itself, it's impossible to tell.

This is the file itself: https://mega.nz/#!lxEgkJ4A!3qkin2HSwPrKvDMKqeS8evZbAMmakA2_rfpvnAQLiqQ (https://mega.nz/#!lxEgkJ4A!3qkin2HSwPrKvDMKqeS8evZbAMmakA2_rfpvnAQLiqQ) , sorry for late response

It loads just fine in OpenMPT here. Can you maybe load it into an empty module and then upload that module?
The sample sounds pitched-down in your recording compared to the original file because you most likely loaded it into a MOD file. This is covered in the OpenMPT FAQ (https://wiki.openmpt.org/Manual:_Frequently_Asked_Questions#When_converting_to_MOD.2C_all_samples_sound_strange).
However, even after saving the MOD file the stereo sample should definitely not be split up into two consecutive samples in any of the current and not-so-current OpenMPT versions.
