ACID question (real basic)

Alright, this should be real simple, but since I have a deadline to make I'm gonna ask this anyway. When I have a one-shot sample (i.e. a song) in ACID (I don't want it messing with the tempo) and I'm trying to record some vocals over it, the program changes the pitch of the one-shot sample. I skimmed through the manual and I couldn't find an explanation for this. All I wanna do this play one track and record something over it, without ACID effing up my tempo. Thanks for the help.

acid is probably automatically beatmapping your vocal so just turn the function off.

Nah. The thing is that when I play down the one-shot sample, it sounds alright. I hit record for the vocal and then the beat (i.e. the one shot sample) starts playing, pitched up. The vocal track is like it should be, but the beat is like permanently pitched up.

and you are sure that the beat is a one shot and not a loop or beatmapped and the same with you vocal. When you hit record make sure the box that says make new track follow project tempo is unchecked.

Yeah man. This is what I do. I open up the program, open the file (the one-shot), say no to beatmapper, use the draw tool, hit record, make sure that box is unchecked, and the beat starts playing-- pitched way up (the track's length isn't affected though, so there's some timestreching action going on I guess).

I'd have it as something else than one-shot, but since the "loops" in the "one-shot" are slightly off tempo-wise (on purpose), it wouldn't work. I really appreciate the help.

Hmm, stupid me, I didn't think of this before: pitch-shifting the one-shot down one semitone would seem to do the trick. Nonetheless, the problem is still there.
