Sample rates do not match

Hi.
I am trying to generate a sweep waveform with 48KHz sampling frequency. However, I see that the lower frequencies have a 48KHz sampling frequencies but the higher frequencies have a bad sampling frequencies.
Can someone tell me how to generate tones with the same sampling frequencies?
It is the same issue with higher frequencies even if the waveform is single frequency (example 9khz waveform cannot be generated at 48khz freq). I am using a trial version Adobe Audition CC Build 732 (64 bit)

Generate Tones uses an entirely internal timing system, and effectively isn't influenced by any clocks at all. But even if you assumed that an internal clock drifted, it wouldn't account for anything like these apparent discrepancies. As an example, consider a 48k clock with a 2% error - which is way worse than you'd ever find these days. If you counted the number of samples over a millisecond, that would, unless you were extremely unlucky, still give you 48, because a 2% error is only 0.96 of a sample over that period.
But, if you opened up this recording in Audition as 48k, it would display it just the same as internally generated tone - so you'd get 48 samples anyway. What would be wrong when you played back the file (using an accurate sample reference for the playback) would be the pitch of your recording, and if it was a good drift, you could even end up with wow and flutter!
The answer to the question about recording external sources though is that it depends... If you have a S/PDIF input, it will use the clock from that (or you get a huge glitch when the sample rates drift to a one sample error). Same thing happens with a USB mic - the sync has to be established from the A-D clock source in the mic, and with a cheap example, that could be even worse than a computer-generated clock. So, it's only non-digital devices connected to the on-board sound device that are subjected to the vagiaries of the internal clock.
And yes, it's because I've considered this in some depth that I'm just a little sceptical about what's happening with the OP, if you see what I mean...

  • The dreaded "sample rates do not match" error: imac

    Greetings,
    I am getting the "samples rates do not match" error when I try to record in an audio file.  I see a lot of stuff online about fixing this on windows, but haven't found the solution for my late 2012 iMac.
    I've made the audio file stereo, 24 bit, 48kHz.
    I've checked the audio midi setup and both the mic and the speakers are set to 2ch 24 bit 48kHz.
    Still get the error....
    What am I missing?
    Thanks!

    What audio interface are you using? You need to make that that is set to 48k as well.

  • Audio sample rate does not match (HDcam to dvcam)

    I'm trying to import clips and keep getting this message:
    "The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
    Footage was originally shot on HDCAM and transferred to DVCAM elsewhere. Using FCP 5, am importing via firewire from a Sony DSR-11 deck. Using DV NTSC 48kHz Anamorphic as capture settings (though I've tried everything that I thought might possibly work with no success). The audio does not seem to drift over the course of several 5 minute or so clips. Clip settings show audio at 48 kHz (don't know if that's from capture settings or from actual data). Seems to me all audio should be 48 kHz 16 bits, so can't figure out what's going on. I have to export an EDL for the project to be finished in HD. Read some similar threads that ended in December, seemingly without much resolution. My broader concern is why this is happening; my immediate concern is do I need to worry about this right now since the media files will need to be recaptured in HD anyway. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    A little more info. I'm having this problem on 4 tapes (from different cameras) that were transferred to DVCAM in a squished format to appear full screen on a 4x3 monitor. Video that was letterboxed and I can bring in with the standard DV NTSC capture settings does not have this problem. Still have the problem if I try to import the clips from the squished video with standard settings. Any thoughts?

  • TS1717 when trying to import cd the following message appears "the current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file"?

    Trying to import cd when this message appears "the current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file".  Any suggestions?

    Thanks so very much.  I chose MP3 and Download and it is working beautifully.  Have a wonderful day and it is so nice of you to get right back to me.  I'm trying to cut a DVD for my grandson's grad party and I got most of the photos and didn't have any music since I lost everything in a clean install.  Could hug you!

  • The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed.

    I've always burned my purchased CDs into iTunes using a AAC 320 kbps and 48.000kHz. Now when I select that option in iTunes 9 I'm getting a "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed." pop up screen. So is it impossible to burn my albums in a 320kbps/48.000 AAC format?. I had no problems in previous versions of iTunes using this setting. I guess I might have to switch over using a MP3 import setting instead.

    Audio CDs are encoded with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. Ripping them at 48 kHz requires resampling and does not improve the quality. Unless you have a special need for 48, use 44.1.

    how solve?????

    You need to compare 'requirement for control chart' and 'control indicator of insp. characteristic'.
    1. Requirement for control chart
    QCC0 > Quality Planning > Basic Data > Sample, SPC > Statistical Process Control > Define Control Chart Type
    See detail for your control chart and check 'requirement' in characteristic type screen area.
    2. Control indicator of insp. characteristic
    QS24
    Check 'control indicator' is suitable for requirement.

  • High sampling rate is not accurate

    Dear alls,
    Any one know why the time loop is not accurate at defined period at the RealTime Trace Viewer ? In figure of VI, I set the period for the time loop is 250 us, but when I analyze in Real time Trace Viewer, it shows the real period time about 676 us. That means my data acquisition will be sampled in wrong sampling rate.
    Could you give me some explane, please? And how can I solve this problem? I tested this code with MyRIO board.
    Best Regards,
    Kien

     ??? Bigger problems than that!  Why do you have any timing other that the TASK timing? And really, The task timing is most likely the loop rate.
    Can you post your actual VI?  I suspect something else is happening here that we cannot see (configurations, channels used, etc).
    And a snip of the Task needs posting

  • Audio Sample Rates Don't Match

    I am capturing a MiniDV tape via Firewire to a Final Cut project
    w/ a Capture Preset of DV/DVCPRO-NTSC w/ 2 channel 48KHz 16-bit
    audio sample rate
    and when I check the Item Props on said clip in Browser it says the same info
    I've toggled both Mono and Stereo on Capture Settings, but after capturing,
    in all cases, I get the same warning message:
    Audio Sample rate one your captured media files doesn't match the sample rate on source tape. This may cause it to go out of sync. Make sure the capture preset matches sample rate of tape.
    Please advise, thanks

    I am capturing with a Sony MiniDV camera w/ a Firewire400 cable,
    and the tape is a Sony MiniDV (DVM60) Premium tape
    I am unsure of the camera that shot the footage, which is from 1998
    and was one of the earliest MiniDV cameras (a large one)
    I tried both Firewire Basic and Log and Capture
    but the problem still persists
    any other options?
    thank you

  • Sample rate will not change

    Logic refuses to change its sample rate from 44100. This happened all of a sudden last night when I opened a session I was mixing at 48000 and noticed it was playing back at 44100 (as it sounded flat and slow, obviously).
    When I select a new sample rate from the Audio menu there is a click, Logic thinks for a moment, then there is another click, and Logic thinks a little longer then a brief spinning rainbow. When it has finished the sample rate is still 44100.
    I am using the built-in audio driver on my MacBook. I have imported the audio from a 48000/24bit pro-tools session. I'm used to working in 44100 so I may have missed something obvious, but it seemed to be working for me yesterday.
    Urgently need this working. Any help much appreciated thanks.

    I've just noticed this today, and found the solution...
    I was convinced that you could set the sound card's sample rate independently of Logic and I believed I had been running it at 192 KHz before, during and after a Logic session. Whether or not Logic would temporarily change this to 44.1 I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure if it didn't keep it at 192 during, it certainly reverted to it on closing Logic. But now, this isn't the case, and I'm finding Logic sets it and then keeps it at 44.1
    The solution...
    Set your project's sample rate to the desired rate in File > Project Settings > Audio
    My gripe about this is that it's not trivial to change this once you've done a lot of audio work because Logic doesn't seem to understand that an audio sample at 44.1 is the same temporal length as one that's at 192, so it time compresses them (+and the pitch goes up+) if you up the sample rate. I would imagine the opposite would be true, although I haven't tried it.
    So you really need to decide on the project's sample rate from the start, and stick with that (+unless you are just working with Apple Loops and Midi, in which case everything seems OK+).

  • Sample rate control not supported

    Hi, I am trying to slow down the tempo of a Clip. I loaded the clip like this:
    DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(Clip.class, format);
    try{
         clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
         clip.open(mixedInputStream);
    catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
    }When I try to obtain a sample rate control like this:
    (FloatControl) clip.getControl(FloatControl.Type.SAMPLE_RATE);I get the message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported control type: Sample Rate
    Does this mean I can''t change the sample rate of my clip? Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks!

  • Comcast will not accept my spot because the  audio sampling value of 44100 does not match the expected rate of 48000. Any ideas how to fix?

    I am working with Final Cut Pro 10.1.4.  I created a 30 second spot with a music bed.  Comcast is rejecting the spot because the audio sampling rate does not match the actual audio values in the spot.  They expected 48000 and my spot is 44100.  This may be caused because I was forced to change the speed of the audio to work properly in the spot.  The audio was sped up to 101%.  First, is this what caused Comcast to reject and second, is there a way to restore the rate without slowing down the music bed?
    Thanks!

    FFirst check your project properties. The default is 48K.

  • Determining DV tape audio sample rate

    I have DV tapes of "archived" final edits recorded on to mini DV tape using two "early" (late 90's) Sony DV cameras with some segments of the same tape recorded with 48k audio and other sections with 32k audio (on the same mini DV tape). I tried to capture the footage into FCP 5.1.2 using a Sony DSR-11 deck and a G4 1.42 GHz dual processor w/ 2 gigs RAM, Radeon 9800 Pro video card, Mac OS 10.4.8
    Everything seemed fine until I got a message after capturing a 3 minute clip using a stock FCP 5 NTSC preset with 48k audio; the message stated the "audio source rate and capture sample rates did not match & footage may be out of synch" - the captured clip played back perfect. The DSR-11 did not display the DV tape's audio sample rate; I put the DV tape into the camera it was originally recorded on and "16 bit" displayed on the camera's LCD screen.
    I tried capturing the same footage using FCP 4.5 installed on another drive in the same computer, and got no warning message re: audio sample rate. Just to "be sure", I created a custom capture preset that included 32 bit audio and captured the same clip using FCP 4.5 with a preset for 32k audio - no warning message, and everything was perfectly in synch. Everything was in synch for ALL the captured clips & the audio sample rate in FCP for captured footage was either 48k or 32K for each respective preset.
    The dilemma: how to be certain what the true/original audio sample rate is.

    "audio source rate and capture sample rates did not match & footage may be out of synch"<<</div>
    William,
    The message itself seems to be a bug that started with FCP 5 - most users that receive this message have reported that there is NO actual problem.

  • Sample Rate And Bitrate Not Allowed ... ?

    I have almost 70GB of my music in my iTunes, ALL in AAC 320kbps 48Khz. Now that I just updated to iTunes 9, I just tried to add more of my new CD's to my library and they are being imported at 44Khz...?? I went to change it back to 320/48 and I get ...
    "The selected combination of bitrate and sample rate is not allowed"
    Bug? Anyone else have this problem? HELP!
    btw ..I tired to use my laptop and my work PC to see if it's just this machine that is causing the problem....and those too (now updated to iTunes 9) are doing the same thing.

    I don't know why a previous version might have allowed a 48khz sample rate, but audio CDs are 44.1kHz (that sample rate is locked into the Red Book CD standard) so there would be no good reason I can think of to attempt to import at a 48KHz sample rate. It won't increase quality and could cause artifacting.
    Regards.

  • Change capture settings to 32k audio sample rate???

    I have a DVCAM tape that my client recorded and the audio sample rate is 32k. I have noticed that the audio seems to get out of sync when I capture it using the 48k NTSC. I also get a warning saying that my source tape's audio sample rate doesn't match the capture settings and that audio could be out of sync. I looked at past posts and it does seem to be the 32k verses 48k.
    My question is how do I change my capture settings to 32k? I see how you do it on the sequence settings, but I can't figure it out on the capture settings.
    Thanks,
    John Schenkel

    John,
    I recently read a post where there were four likely answers to the problem, yet I was not sure which one was the best solution.
    Why? Because even though the question was marked as answered the person posting the original question didn't mark which individual's answer was the solution.
    Please help future users to find answers more quickly, who knows, you may find yourself in the same situation someday.

  • How do you set sequence audio sample rate?

    I tried posting this to another, but it was already answered, and noone will see it.
    I am getting the capture error "audio sample rate doesn't match" and yes, I can see in my browser that the clip is 48khz/16bit, but the sequence is 48khz/32 bit. Howver, wherever I look to change the sequence setting, it is 48/16 already. I've gone to FCP on the menu dropdown to audio/video settings - it's correct all through there. I've gone to the menu dropdown Sequence settings, and it's correct there. I've closed down, opened a new sequence, restarted, everything I can think of. Is there a secret to getting them to match? And, can I fix a project already edited with this discrepancy? Its export to QT is WAY out of synch.

    Annoying - I can't see your post when I am in reply mode.
    Yes, I get this error when i am capturing. From reading a previous post about the error, I thought the solution was to check the audio rate of the captured clip in the browser, and then make sure it matched the audio rate of the sequence. Like I said, everywhere you get to change the sequence setting, it SAYS it is 48/16, but yet, whe I scroll over in the browser, it says the audio rate is 48 KHz and the audio format is 32-bit floating point. Am I looking at the right places?
    I can't check the settings in the camera until this evening...don't ask.
    I'm not so sure this is not a QT issue instead of anything to do with capturing, etc. It plays back fine in the timeline.
