Omg if I'm Zooming someone and I route audio through the Zoom audio driver so I can pipe in my computer audio straight to the Zoom attendees, this is exactly what happens.

The first time it happened, I didn't know I had to switch it back from 48 kHz manually, and then when I loaded a digital tuner into Ableton, it was like "every single one of your strings is flat (or sharp, can't remember which) by like 1.5 semi-tones", and I chalked it up to thermal shenanigans. Had recently changed strings. Then I started trying to write a digital piano part in the same key that I thought it was in based on the guitar part's fretboard positions... Omg it took me like an hour to realize that my sample rate was the culprit. A sample rate set by Zoom automatically.

It's almost like audio engineering is a legit job, "But since I can hear audio, I think I totally understand it."

I'm sure you totally can't relate. ;) ;) ;)

Gotta respect Eddie's talent. I could try to guitar like he did, but, as reality would have it, I am me and not he.
