Converting 48khz to 44,1khhz

[Ola Englund]

I'm in kind of a dilemma here. I'm having this guy doing a solo for me and converted my project from 44100 to 48000 hz. He then recorded everything and now I have a solo that is 48000 hz that doesn't fit the project in time or in pitch.

Any tips on how to convert these files AND changing the pitch and speed.

Logic is to good and changes sample rate without changing pitch. But that's what I want!!!

Wait... is the solo in wrong pitch and time in 48kHz? Or do you just want to convert it to 48kHz without changing the pirch and time?

Grab a trial of Audiofile Engineering's Sample Manager. Should take care of it.

the solo is right in 48000 hz. But doesn't fit my 44100 project. I'll check it out thanks dude!

Ah, then Sample Manager will deal with it just fine. I recently mixed a project where the files (per song) were in three different formats, three different sample rates and three different bit depths, all mixed together, and Sample Manager's batch convert fixed it. Nowadays I use Wavelab for all converting duties.

but what the hell I convert from 48khz to 44,1khz and the file gets longer and lower pitch? Am I thinking backwards?

I you're reading a 48khz file in a 44khz project it will alter the pitch and the duration.
If you convert the file then read it your 44khz project, you'll be fine.

Hit me up on FB if you want to and I'll see if I can sort it out for you.

Just load the solo on logic. and bounce it or export it to a wavfile of 44.1 then load it in the project. btw try to play with differant deither types to get the best resaults

Dither only applies to bit depth conversion. Unless you're converting the solo from 24bit to 16bit (for example), DO NOT DITHER.

What DAW?
In Cubase, when you import the audio file (if it's on other sample rate) it asks if you want to convert it.

Yes that's what I want but the other way around, I want the clip shorter and higher pitched.

wait got it to work in another program, thanks guys!

hey Ola do you mind sharing how you solve it? i have a similar problem right now.!

 

[AudioGeekZine]

I use R8brain for conversions like this. Dudes that use external converters fuck this up all the time

 

[RedDog]

Reaper does all that on the fly. Just fyi.

ahem, I downloaded Wavelab, converted, and I swear I deleted wavelab after that uke:

Why didnt you open that file in a logic 48.000hz session? and bounce it out in 44.100hz and then import it intro your real session?

 

[AudioGeekZine]

Reaper does all that on the fly. Just fyi.

Not if the wav was encoded wrong like external clock on the wrong setting.

Mismatched sample rates have never been a problem with me, perhaps I've never run into a file of this type?

If you get an external converter that doesn't auto-switch sample rates to match the project you will. Anything that has sample rate switches on them can potentially cause problems.

My friend got the SSL converter and often switches 44 and 48khz between sessions but forgets to switch both the converter and pro tools to the same.
It's stupid that it record and play fine within that session but fucked if you try to take it anywhere else.
