So, I am going to be the douche bag of the day and inform you all of a mistake I made, with the hopes that my proposed solution is deemed acceptable. I recorded a song for a friend's band the other day with my Digi002, synched to a Presonus Digimax pre through ADAT. Knowing that the song may turn out to be a part of something they might later get mastered, I decided to create my Pro Tools session at 48k instead of the usual 44.1. Here's my mistake: I didn't remember to switch the clock on the Presonus to 48k from 44.1. All seemed to work fine, all day long, until I finally switched back to the internal clock, and all of sudden everything I'd recorded sounded higher in pitch by roughly a couple whole steps. Turning the Presonus back on at 44.1 and resynching "improperly" made everything go back down to the right pitch, but bouncing the song would still give me the high pitched problem. I'm still kind of confused about the whole thing, but I've pretty much concluded that there's no way I'm going to be able to get a proper bounce out of Pro Tools without it sounding the high pitched way. So, I think that the only thing I can do is to run the song (with the Presonus running 44.1 so the song sounds correct) through a couple line-outs from my Digi002, into a couple line-ins on my friend's Mbox. Basically I'd be ignoring whatever sample rate conversion crap I'm dealing with on my Digi002 situation, turning the song back into analog signal, then recreating files from that signal. I hope I'm being clear about this, like I said, I'm still kind of confused myself. But, does that solution sound okay to you all? I'm sure there technically will be some signal degradation, due to fact that I have to convert back to analog and then back to digital again, but will it be a difference that I even really need to be concerned about? Thanks!
