Background sound 'muffled'

[henri_smeets]

When I add a background sound to my pano (MP3, 96Kbps) it really sounds rather muffled whereas the original MP3-file sounds nice and crisp?

Any clues anybody?

It sounds as if the mp3 is recompressed but I cannot find a setting for this in the prefs. Am I missing something?

Hi,
yes, the sound file seems to be compressed. In fact in the pano it is downsampled to 11025 Hz...

I found out that you used a 32kHz sample rate in your mp3. Try to convert it to 44100 Hz or 22050 Hz, load it into the pano and try it again.
Maybe this can help, but I'm not really sure.

Regards,
Wolff

Thanks for the tip Wolff, I'll check it out!

And, yesss, the problem has been tackled, the input sample rate set at 44Khz creates the correct sounding panos!

Thanks Wolff!
