Does itunes convert sample rates before burning to disc?

Question:
If I set up a playlist that incorporates tracks that have a 48kHz sample rate, does itunes convert to 44.1kHz during the process - or is the pre-existing sample rate retained?
Thanks.

I think it leaves it as-is if you burn as an mp3 or data disc. As an audio cd I believe it converts them to audio cd standards.

Convert Sample Rate on Import- does not work

Setting: *"Automatically convert sample rate of imported audio"*
You'll want to set this if you have audio on your computer
that wasn't sampled at 44k. It prevents your imported audio from
sounding like Mickey Mouse drinking a gallon of espresso and inhaling helium.
HOWEVER...It does NOT work when you drag audio into the project from
Logic's internal File Browser.
Dragging audio into the project from Logic's Browser,
or browsing to the file in Logic's Browser and choosing to
"Add selected Files to Audio Bin",
will NOT convert to the audio's sample rate.
Sample rate of your audio is only converted if you do: "Import audio file",
then browse to the file(again) in a popup browser dialog, and then choose import.
If the audio is already in your Audio Bin, choosing "Convert File"
will bring up another Finder Dialog asking you where you want the
converted audio to be placed.
Now you'll have to Browse (yet again) to the song's folder, because that's where
you'll probably want it anyway, and choose to put
your converted audio into the song's folder.
Please realize: If a composer or producer wants his/her audio to sound like
Mickey Mouse on Helium and Espresso, he will do it after the fact, on purpose, using a plugin.
Is it too much to ask, to have this Setting do what it says it does, with ALL audio brought into the song?
No matter how I bring audio material into a Project, the sample rate should always conform
to the Project's sample rate.

Hi there
I've been using Captivate since version 1. And to be honest, I'm not sure I've ever seen the option work. If it does work, I'd also like to know under what conditions it works. Perhaps it only works with certain applications. I'm not sure. Largely I've ignored the option exists because I've never recorded anything where I wanted tooltips to be an option. I've never wanted to simulate to that detail.
You should probably consider filing a bug report.
Cheers... Rick

Converting sample rate when exporting

CS5.5
I'm using Audition to do some final mastering to 16-bit stereo 44100 wav files, in 32 float multi-track sessions.
All I'm doing is increasing the clip gain, then exporting to 16-bit stereo 44100 wave and 320 mp3.
I'm not changing the sample rate, channels or bit depth, but I am applying triangular dither when exporting.
The thing I've noticed is even though I'm not changing any of the properties of the files, when exporting Audition still tells me its "converting sample rate", despite the sample rate being the same as the source (44100). The quality advanced tab on the sample rate is greyed out.
Also, when I check the history box for the newly exported files it tells me "convert sample type on save as"
What is Audition doing at this stage?
How can it be converting the sample rate, when the sample rate is the exact same as the source? And the quality tab for sample rate conversion is greyed out?
All I'm doing is upping the clip gain slightly and then applying dither to these files. No sample rates are changed.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Except that you are...
If you open a 16-bit file as a 32-bit float, then you've changed the bit depth. It's the right thing to do if you are doing amplitude changes, as it makes any change effectively lossless, but it will still have to be converted back to 16-bit if you elect to store it like that.

Does iTunes convert your music when transfering to iPod?

If I have a .wav, .aac, or .mp3, does iTunes convert them to one unified format and bitrate when it get's transfered to the iPod or do the files basically stay as they were?

No they don't get converted. Whatever the files/bitrates are that are imported into into iTunes are the same as get transferred to the iPod.

ITunes Crashes when trying to burn a disc

iTunes Crashes when trying to burn a disc I've had this problem now for a few weeks. Whenever I try to burn a CD or DVD iTunes crashes and I have to try up to 3 times until it crashes and then resets itself like if I had just installed it. At first I thought that it was because I needed to upgrade to the new iTunes version 10 but the upgrades are for Mac OS 10.5 and up. My internal disc drive no longer works so I've been using a borrowed Sony DVD RW DRU-840A USB burner with firmware SS01. I have iLike installed as well and that also has problems it has stopped loading.

I'm having the same problem.

Does iTunes convert video

I added many videos to my library converted in the AppleTv friendly format. When trying to add a video to the iphone, an error says video not playable on iPhone (format issue). Does iTunes itself have the ability to re convert video to iPhone playable format? Or does conversion need to be done with 3rd party software? Im surprised iPhone can not play AppleTv video.

Thanks! You say handbrake does the apple universal? I converted video to the applyTv format because it looks good playing on a big screen using the appleTv device. I don't really want to have multiple copies of the same video and also, how to keep iphone separate from appletv video. Would be nice for itunes to add features to do this. Especially since apple devices, ipad/iphone/appletv/etc all use itunes but have their own specific video requirements. Itunes should know if you registered several types of apple devices to your itunes apple account, and when importing video, auto convert to all required device formats. Then when you plug in one device, only supported video for that device is displayed. Also a popup note that "video in other formats exists in the itunes library, but has not been converted. Do you want to convert? yes/no". Itunes then could convert in the background. And auto organize different video formatted items into their own folder in the library.

What audio format does iTunes convert to and use?

I got an ipod touch 4 a few months back, and it had to convert many of my songs to a different format. I need to put some songs on a rewritable cd/dvd to work in a cd player. I think it is an MP4 format. We tried it on a rewritable DVD-RW and a CD-R. Neither work. We tried on two different cd players. They act as if nothing was there. I need to know if Mp4 format is the problem and if iTunes can convert it to the right format. I can't find what format it converted my other songs to. Thanks for suggestions!

iTunes does not convert the audio format unless you ask it to, either by ripping from an audio CD or using the conversion process. (In iTunes for Windows it also does a conversion when a WMA file is added.) Other than that, it leaves files in the audio format they are in.
When it does convert, it uses the format that you have selected in the "Import Preferences." That value defaults to AAC, but also allows selection of MP3, Apple Lossless, WAV, or AIFF.

Converting sample rate enmas

I have built a rather long and elaborate document in the style of Old-Time Radio.
It consists of narration at 48 sample rate,
and 200 sound effects from Apple's content of which about 95% are at 48 but some, especial the music and at 44.1.
Is there any way to, and what is the easiest way to convert almost 200 regions (or their underlying audio files) to ALL 44.1?
(BTW, in the document-preferences, it is set to 48, (it must have defaulted that way when I first started, sorry I didn't change it from the start.)
If I have to convert these almost 200 files individually, I won't do it, but ideally I wish I could convert these to 44.1.
Or should I just leave it at the superior 48 until export time?

Hello,
It would seem that I'm stuck in 48 at least for this document.
Here is what I've discovered if I change the document sample rate from 48 to 44.1, and then play back the audio files already in 44.1...
SOME of the files sound effected.. but others sound just the same.. BAFFLING.
also if I change the document sample rate from 48 to 44.1, some of the regions get moved!!
It creates at mess.
Will stay with 48 on this one.
Sure wish I know why only some of th 44.1 files were effected.

Does iTunes 7 "Include CD Text" Burn Feature Work?

The CD player in my car will display the disc title and song name if it is encoded with CD Text information. It works well with Toast. I noticed that iTunes 7 has a Burn preference "Include CD Text" checkbox, but when I select it and burn a CD the info does not appear in the car.
Does anyone know what's up with this?

I burnt a CD yesterday with iTunes 7 and the CD Text feature turned on. I tried the CD in my car, a 2005 Nissan Aramda, but nothing displayed. I know the CD player supports CD text so I wondered if iTunes didn't burn the CD correctly. I started trying the CD in all my CD and DVD players. On my Sony DVD player, the disc did display the disc title but not the track titles. However, I'm not sure that it would since it's a DVD player. That at least told me that iTunes wrote something on the disc. Then I read that if you insert the CD you burned back into your Mac and launch Toast, select Disc Information under the Recorder menu, you can see a listing of all the burned tracks and the CD text that was written on the disc. Sure enough, iTunes 7 had burned the disc title, track name and artist for each of the tracks.
Given that iTunes appears to burn CD Text correctly, the mystery is why my car doesn't recognise it. I'm also wondering about the two standards for CD text and if maybe the one iTunes supports isn't the same as the one my car supports. I'm hoping that maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
Thanks,
Eric

Why does itunes convert my files.....again?

When iTunes scans my music folder (which is not the iTunes folder) it will convert some files and place them in the iTunes music folder. Because I don't want duplicates I took the converted files and moved them to my music folder, replacing the originals with the converted files.
When iTunes rescans my music folder it converts these same files.......again! and puts the converted files into the iTunes folder again making duplicates.
Why does it do that, how can I stop it, and why would it think it needs to convert a file that IS the conversion in made in the first place?

It's not automated. Because I add my music in bulk I initiate the scan by click on File > Add Folder to Library, and then just repoint to my music folder so it will add all of the new files at once.
Thanks.

Does itunes 10.2.2 have burn problems?, Does itunes 10.2.2 have burn problems?, Does itunes 10.2.2 have problems?

I have been trying to burn a CD (tried audio cd as well as mp3) on several playlist that I have used before and keep getting this message:
I had my computer repaired in
I do not believe this note is revelant for the following reasons:
1) because i have been using this brand and batch of blank cds for several years. they work great.
2) speed is not the problem as i have tried several speeds including the slowest... never has this issue been a problem before.
3) the disc drive works.
I had my mac book pro repaired (sound card, display and logic board replaced in Feb 2011. currently running latest version of OSX.
What gives?

Imported Audio Not Sample Rate Converted?

I received some audio files for a project that were accidentally sent at 48k instead of the 44.1 I need.
Isn't Logic supposed to automatically do the sample rate conversion if you have the little settings box ticked for "convert sample rates for imported audio"?
I can't get it to work. I use the audio bin "add audio files", and import the 48k files. They get imported, but remain at 48k, unchanged, after import.
Is this another bug or is there some part of the process I'm missing?

Sample rate/quicktime pro audio/video

Hi all:
Have a few questions related to Quicktime pro on mac related to sample rate of audio and video...any help understanding much appreciated...
I am a music composer using logic pro and recently started working with filmakers who send me quicktime files of the video to score to...
regarding sample rate of audio as played back in quicktime...I'm a bit confused....
When playing back either an MP3,wave,Aiff at 44.1k or 48k
seems that quicktime plays at the right speed and pitch of audio...Does Quicktime use it's own audio processor to convert sample rates in real time at playback?
When I play a video track with audio recorded at 44.1k or even an MP3...and playback on my soundcard set at 48k...it does play at correct pitch...even though theory of audio tells me that the sample rate is very inportant especially when playing back...sample rate needs to be the same on both the soundcard audio clock and the software...
Is this part of the magic of quicktime or am I missing something.
Even a bit more confused when I got a dialog file from a filmaker attached to his quicktime file that he thougnt was in 44.1k...was actually 48k...so when taken out of quicktime and put in another enviornment for editing that became really important and avident that the samplerate audio rules outside of quicktime applied...
Am I correct then in my understanding that when working only in the quicktime enviornment that the rules of audio sample rate do not apply?
Thanks for thoughts...
regards
vibes

All you may ever want to know about QT, audio and OS X:

QuickTime 7 is a major re-write and it now has many more options for audio. Multiple channel support (up to 24) and sample rates of double DV Stream settings.
Magic is how it works.
