Apple Music plays local audio-files slightly slower than other software.

Hi!


I make music in Logic.

I bounced a song and played it in Music.

I realized that it was going too slow. I went back to Logic and played it there and there the tempo was correct. Tried to bounce once more with the same result.

Then i tried to play it in quicktime instead and there the tempo was perfect. Tried to play in other softwares too and there it was also perfect.


I could not find a setting related to this in Music.


I have used Music a lot but have not noticed this before.

Maybe i realized this time because this song have a distinct riff so a slight tempo change becomes obvious right away?

Tried an old bounce with the same result.


I also checked the online streaming service with music.

Dua Lipa played at the correct tempo when i compared with Youtube and Spotify.

So it seems it is only my bounces. :)


Specifications about the song:

  • Filetype: Tried both WAV,AIFF and MP3.
  • Sample size: 16 bit
  • Sample rate: 44.1 kHz


Hope someone has an answer or is it wrong with my head?!
