Recording creates wobbly effect....Sound forge or soundcard?

[Chrisac]

Im trying to record stuff from vinyl in to sound forge. Doen this many times before without problems using the same motu 828mk11 sound card. On playback I the audio has a wobbly effect on it, a bit like a badly warped track in Ableton Live. Sound forge could be acidizing the audio?

If I import audio rather than records playback is fine so Im assuming this is something to do with recording

Anyone experienced something like this with either a Motu 8282mk11 or using sound forge?

chris.....
simply - look at your turntable alignment that your playing the vynal on.
this is typical turntable behaviour.
outside of the pc - listen to the ttable thru a home hi fi.
for wobbling.

Thanks for your reply manning . Afraid its not the turntable (technics sl1200). Its been a real head scratcher this one...

If I record in any other software (Ableton Live, Cubase SX) the recording doesnt have the wobbly effect. if I record in to sound forge the auido does. However, if I use input 7+8 on the motu the recordings are as they should be in all my recording software...Weird..

Still have no idea what the problem is but at least for the moment I can record stuff from vinyl.

chris....got me scratching (my turntable !) as well...
if the audio coming into the pc is rock solid from the turntable,
only thing i can think of is some sort of driver incompatibilty in some software.
once i was trying to sort out a prob like this.
turned out my dog was jumping around and so the turntable etc..
but i really dont know.
its a weird one allright !
