Q: Convert audio bit & sample rate during import
I have a project that's in 24bit/48KHz, and want to import an audio file (mp3) that's in 16bit/44.1KHz.
When I import the mp3 file into the project either through drag & drop or the Add Audio File dialog box, it doesn't convert the file into the project's native bit & sample rate. Consequently, when I play it back in the Arrange window it plays in chipmunk voice.
I thought Logic used to automatically convert audio files into native resolution. How do I do this in Logic 8?
Thanks,
Steven
Thanks for the response. My project currently does have those options checked, and it's still not converting.
To double check, the mp3 file does get copied to the project's Audio Files directory. It also creates a file with the same name and the file extension .ovw - but doesn't seem to be converted.
Any ideas? Thanks again -

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?Import Audio File (Shift Command I).

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

Core audio and sample rate conversion
I would like to know how to take manual control over core audio regarding sample rate destruct... er conversion. First - I know the workarounds - simply closing the audio player of choice, resetting the external hardware and relaunching the audio player of choice.
setup:
I run external converters with an external sample rate clock source. No problems or issues here. I keep my music collection segregated by SR (96k, 88.2k, 48k, 44.1k) as I ALWAYS listen through external converters.
The annoyance is when one forgets to keep track of core audio and inadvertently ends up listen to a piece of music sample rate destructed. You know - walk up to music server computer, forget that you had DAC set to 44.1k for last music played, put on 96k source, SRC takes over and you don't notice the artifacts and distortion for a few songs. No one wants that! Don't get me wrong - it's a convenient feature and the amateur user would be sunk without it.
What I want is an indicator that will tell when SRC is turned on and further, what the input and output sample rates are (as far as core audio is able to determine from the hardware anyway). In my world this would have been a check box in a preference setting. Perhaps someone has written a script or app for this? Command line instruction?
ThanksStart with http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Conceptual/CoreAudioOverview /Introduction/Introduction.html and direct further queries to the developer forums under OS X Technologies.

Changing sample rate during acquisitio​n
I need to programmatically change sample rate during acquisition: My application involves sampling at slow rate most of the time but during "region of interest" I need to change sampling rate to fast (close to max rate of board).
I think it's also possible to use the same (high) sample rate during your
complete acquisition, but in the case you need the 'slow' rate only take
from the array sample 0, 10, 20 etc. or any number you prefer.
In the end I think you want to make sure your computer doesn't have to work
that hard all the way, or if you want to save the data, it's not that big...
If I'm wrong, please tell me.

Query re sampling rates when importing from CD in UK
Hi again. I was going to try to import a track from a CD via iTunes and convert it. I know that the rate is 44.1 before converting it in iTunes, but i'm unsure which raye to con vert to. my FCE setup is Pal 32Khz, therefor should I be converting to that rate to import into my project?
Again your help is much appreciated. DenisThanks Tom. I was perusing the manual while I was waiting read the bit about checking the Seqence settings. on going to Sequence>settings I noted that the audio rate was 32.0 KHz and the format was 32bit floating point, which it states I should match.
Thank again from one of the newbies following you Editing workshop and your video 'Final Cut Express HD Made Easy' -
Converting 24-44 sample rate to 24-48 - without losing video sync?
Hi,
I am doing a video shoot for a shot film and I need my final outputs at 24bit and 48khz for audio. Video frame rate is 24fps.
I am planning to do live sound recorded externally for good quality when compared to camera internal records. But I have a macbook which is 9 yrs old and I can only use garageband with my focusrite saffire6 usb audio interface and I cannot use logic in this old macbook.
So my questions are
1. Can I record live sound using garageband as DAW and export files at 24-48 from GB? I find it can do only 24-44....
If not...
2. Can I open the garageband project in my imac at my studio with (Logic Pro X) later at the end of each day of shoot , and export the recorded tracks of GB to 24-48 wav or aif from logic pro x ? ( I dont want to change the logic pro x project to 24-48 from 24-44 as the pitch of the recorded voice alters.
If i export the tracks at 24-48 from a 24-44 project and then re-import it to another logic pro x project (24-48) what exactly changes ? Will i lose video sync / lip sync ? will there be any noticable quality loss ?
Pl. do help me with my above questions. I will be converting small small audio clips of the shots related to the video.
I dont want finish my movie then change the sample rate of the entire audio track....
So will the video / lip sync be lost in any way ?? Is 24-44 to 24-48 convertion recommended ?? as I have only my old mac book only to use to record audio on the shoot location and i dont want to carry my imac to the location... I will be using my rode video mic pro and saffire 6 usb interface in my old macbook i am not in a position to invest on another recorder.
Looking forward for your replies and comments. Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Arun KanthHi

You are delivering audio for a video project.

I am going to deliver a long bounce which then the director will put in his system and mix with the other elements of the film. dialogue, etc.. I was not asked for a 48 file .. and in the past I was always fine by delivering 44.1 audio files to editors or mixers..
Arguably, you should've asked what format they require the finished files to be in (ideally before you started). Probably best to check now what they can/will be able to work with. Then you will know what must be done with the work you have in progress.

How does Core Audio set sample rate?
When I play a particular movie in QuickTime, the audio and video are out of sync. The movie plays fine on other computers.
This Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8) is used exclusively for Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro. The audio hardware is a Pro Tools HD Native card:
Native card --> Pro Tools Digital I/O boxes --> Lavry D/A converters --> monitors
The sample rate of the Digital I/O boxes is set by an external master clock, a Lavry Gold A/D converter.
I opened the DigiDesign Core Audio Manager and it says:
Connected @ 44.1K, 32 In/32 Out, Buffer Size 512
Yet the movie is at 48K (I know because I created it in Final Cut Pro), and the external clock is set at 48K. So, I don't know where the 41K in the Digidesign Core Audio Manager came from. This is why I am guessing the problem is sample rate.
Please help me understand what sets the sample rate.
Does the application using Core Audio set it?
If so, how is this made consistent with the sample rate set for the hardware by the external master clock?
Do I have to be sure I always change the external clock setting to be consistent with the movie being played?
BTW, I have not had a sync problem when I play video in Final Cut Pro..........it is always in sync. So, I have never worried about how Core Audio works. The sync problem is only with QuickTime.Well, here is more information:
- I reinstalled QuickTime 7 and did many other things (trashed preferences,etc)
- I set the audio hardware (Pro Tools/HD Native card) to 48k
- I checked the Digi CoreAudio Manager and it said "Connected at 44.1K", even though the hardware was set to 48K
- I played the problem videos, and all are now in sync
- I check the Digi CoreAudio Manager and it still says 44.1K
- I checked the hardware and it is now set to 44.1K
I know that the videos are 48K, because I created them in Final Cut Pro X.
Does this mean that QuickTime 7 always converts videos to 44.1K, regardless of their sample rate? -
Question on supported audio input sampling rate
Hi,
I have USB capture device which supports HDMI input and I wish to use it to connect to my digicam and stream it out with FMLE. While I can see that the video input is working properly, the audio is not working. The error message "Problem with audio capture device - Please verify that the audio device is working correctly and is not already in use." always appear when I try to select the device's audio device. Using the graphedit, I can see that the capture device's audio output pin only supports stereo 16-bit 48 kHz PCM output. As such, can I confirm that that FMLE only support 44.1kHz (as well as other 44.1kHz divisible) sampling rate?
Thanks
JohnAfter researching and playing with the system, I found a solution. Uninstalling the "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" under the Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound enables sampling rate up to 384KHz instead of 48KHz.
If there are other solutions without uninstalling the HD audio driver, please post. Thanks

When feeding my macbookpro a digital audio signal via optical cable while viewing the audio midi setup utility, it shows that the mbp's internal clock automatically switches to the incoming sample rate. I got it to work with 441,48 and 96k. When I fead it the 882 sample rate it automatically switches back to the mbp's internal clock and reverts to line input instead of digital. So the audio midi setup utility shows when it is in digital input mode the three sample rates 441,48 and 96k in the format pop up window and not 882 so it must be just a software issue and I am wondering if there is a way to add the sample rate to the list. If it can take in 96k it should also be ale to take in 882. So does anyone know how you could ad a sample rate of 882 to the list in the audio midi utility format list?
One added note. The reason that I want to be able to do this is I like to record my audio projects at 882 and if the mac book pro could except the sample rate I could then use it as a 882 digital 2 track recorder. Enabling me to skip hitting the bounce to disk function in pro tools and actually be able to ride a fader as the mix is printing to the macbookpro, where as when you bounce to disk in pro tools you cannot access the mix as it bounces to disk.

Audio problem ( sample rate/ mismatch samplerate )
Hi everyone,
I'm using a Macbook white Mid 2010, everything is fine but recenly i bought a USB interface to record music from my instruments ( Mic and guitar ) through garageband..
I have watched steps on how to connect guitar to garageband, and i did those steps by selecting USB channel as input..
The problem is every time i test my guitar or microphone, it sounds terrible just like little chipmunk or something. Some ppl told me my sample rate is mismatch. I also was checking around on Audio Midi Setup, i can't change my sample rate for my USB audio interface. The input for it, is 28000KHz, and i was told garageband only accepts 44000KHz.. So i thought my USB interface was having a problem..
However today i have tested my microphone on my old iMac white, i did plug in my USB interface and microphone, it worked so fine. The sound was not like on my macbook. it just fine and very clear. So my USB interface is not the problem..
BTW audacity also works fine on my macbook, only garageband..
Could someone help me? I can give you more details about it..Canon cameras are notorious for recording with nonstandard sampling. Usually, though, material will capture without synch problems.
Make sure you have "abort capture on dropped frames" and "create new clip on timecode break" enabled in fcp: user preferences: general and do not capture over a control track break (where you see just "noise" in the video -
Problems with audio Parallels sample rate
Hi!
I recently I installed Finale 2014 in my iMac (Os X 10.9.2) and, when I try to run the application, I receive an error message telling that I must adjust my audio sample rate to 44.1 kHz and Finale crashes. So, by going to Applications --> Utillities --> Audio and MIDI Setup, I adjusted the sample rate to this value and the issue continues to appear. By contacting Finale support, they told me that I must remove my audio device from Parallels Desktop 9 (I was not allowed to adjust this device). But, the problem is that I simply can not remove the device - when I select the device, the " - " signal is in gray. How can I remove the device, in this case?
Thank you!Hello!, first of all thanks for your reply. Yes, the camera is the same, the problem is on my computer, I have discovered a solution: first I capture the audio, only the audio, and then the video, only the video. After this I soncronize the two separate files on Final Cut timeline. It´s a slow process, but I am really desesperated. I don´t know what happens, I few minutes ago I have captured a 30 mins. video and the sample rate of the audio was 42.145k (???). It´s a crazy thing...
