software

Hi guys, i just received a load of audio tracks that i'm going to mix, but the thing is they at the 48Khz sample rate. Does anyone know any software to convert them to 44.1Khz including the drop in pitch i need coz they are higher in pitch and sped up slightly.

Thanks

What are you meaning about pitch? Sample rates are not going to cause any change in pitch or any track speeding up or slowing down.

Changing the sample rate wont change the pitch on a regular digital audio file.

Are they loops with embedded pitch information? ACID loops, or similar?

Guys . . . take this with a grain of salt, because I'm not positive about this, but if your sound card isn't designed to handle a 48k stream, (as some older, cheaper cards do), then it will change both the speed and pitch. The card is taking samples at one rate, and reading them at another.

Like I said, not positive.

btw - dbPowerAmp will do what you want, and its free.

The tracks are recorded audio tracks taken from an Alesis HD24XR, i can't remember if they were recorded at 92Khz or 88.2Khz, but when they were resampled at 48Khz the speed and pitch was raised.

My soundcard is an Audigy 2 and i don't think it cant accept 48Khz streams.

I'll try that dbPowerAmp and see what it does.

....otherwise, back to the studio
