I've done quite a mindboggling thing today. I started recording a song with Sonar 7, and when I was done and satisfied, I exported the song to hear it on my stereo. But no matter what I did, it kept playing at half speed. After much confusion and troubleshooting, I noticed suddenly that I have recorded the song while my soundcard was set to 96 kHz!

well:)
i have 2 Pro Tools sessions.
one is 44.1 and the other 48. i need to import both of them into a new Pro Tools 44.1 session. the 44.1 isn't a problem. but he 48. when i import through import session data the 48 is playing wrong.. what can i do ?

thanks alot

I'm trying to complete a project i started a few years back in a friends home studio. cake walk was the program. the band broke up. the files were converted to wav and sent to me marked 48 khz 24 bit. I went to a pro tools studio to get started again and the tracks are sped up.

Hello, a few weeks ago I bought an M-Audio Delta 1010LT. I've got it in a box running Windows XP Professional using the latest drivers from the M-Audio site. For some reason, Windows Sounds, CD's and my ripped music (FLAC) all play back too fast when I set the card to a 44100kHz sample rate, but play back fine at a 48000kHz sample rate. This is exactly backwards of what it should be.

I couldn't find much about this here, but sorry if it's been discussed. I know that sample rates are the number of samples being recorded per second (so the higher the better). Is it in my best interest to always record at the highest (96kHz) my set up can run? Would there be a reason to record at a lower sample rate? For example if I'm gonna burn the track to a CD eventually?

I built a PC-based DAW out of a MOTU PCI 424 card and pair of MOTU 24IO interfaces to be used as a way to generate a large number of simulated Sonar signals. SONAR (no pun intended) is the DAW application.

Hey,
I've received Pro Tools 7.1- 44.1khz sessions that were recorded at 48 khz using a Mackie desk as the master clock.. As well the opposite way around. So if I don't have a clock to control it. it plays at slower or faster speeds.

Is there anyway to fix this so the session sample rate matches the the clock I'm using.
Hope I worded it right.
Yhanks.

Hello!
I have an problem about AES/EBU samplerate between MOTU 896HD and DAT.
When I connect 896HD AES/EBU output to DAT input then change the samplerate by 896HD setup software on my DAW.
Whenever I changed the samplerate from 32k,44.1k to 48k.
The DAT samplerate still stay at 44.1k.
After that I try another DAT but the situation as same before.

Now that we have options of sample rates of 96khz(and beyond) and word lengths 24 or more, what are people settling on?

44.1 @ 16
44.1 @ 24
48 @ 16/24

And why do you do it? (Please don't lecture me about why it's supposed to be better... I understand Nyquist's theorms and math truncation.)

Can you really hear a difference?

Hi everyone, I am setting up a 16 channel studio and have a few questions hopefully more clever people can advise me on.
