digital audio capture - target file playing faster

This is not really an audio encoding problem, but I think I can ask this here:

A colleague of mine wants to capture his vinyls via optical digital cable to his PC (from vinyl to 6-channel mixer to a Sony Minidisc Deck, from there via optical cable to his Terratec Soundcard).

Now the problem is the speed of the captured files is always wrong. The captured wave files play too fast by a few bpm (he tried with different programs, amongst them Soundforge 7, which I recommended to him)

Where do you suspect the problem? Is it driver related (Terratec)? Or could it be hardware related - the Sony MD Deck encoding to a wrong sampling rate?

He has already asked all of our colleagues (who are all cutters/tv technicians) and a professional audio engineer and they all couldn't come up with a simple solution...
(That's why I'm asking here...last resort I could think of where maybe someone had an easy solution for this)

Maybe someone has experienced this problem himself and knows a simple solution? Or any solution at all except buying new hardware?

Hello,

I have never done this type of audio capture but, i think that your problem would come from your software Soundforge.
Try Wavelab5 or Cool edit pro 2.1 or Acid pro 4.

really seems like a samplerate problem
if the LD would send a signal at 44.1khz and it get's recorded as 48khz it should be to fast

try changing the samplerate at which you record

Hello E-Male,

It appears strange but your reasoning seems correct.
A method to verify your statements would be that TheReal compiles the frequency 48 in 44.1 by means of the software Cool edit 2000.
Who knows that will work maybe.

in cool edit pro 2.0 (now got a different name) you can select the sampelrate when creatign a new empty wave file, it'll than also record into that file at that sample rate
maybe the same work with cool edit 2000
then you could just try with 44.1khz

Excuse me E_male, I think have disregard the good term.
Indeed, it is well about cool edict pro 2.0.
The version cool edict 2000 only made of the resonant treatment.
Thank you for this small recall.
