Ha HA HA HA!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
SO, I had a flash of inspiration when my buddy brought some tracks over to be "mastered" (Yeah, Yeah, I told him I couldnt do it, but he wanted me too anyway..)
Anyway, he had these sad tracks all in 44.1 16bit, and I ripped them onto my hd, and lo and behold, that chick from rusted root sounded like she was 11!!
At that moment it flashed into my brain... my master clock was set at 48000! and CEP is NOT my clock master, so everything in 44.1 wa still playing 48, game set, match.
xoxoxoxoxim SO happy i figured that outxoxoxo
