Hi, i have to mix the song of a friend recorded with mbox 2 mini in 24 bit/44.1 k format. - Use the Save copy in ... command to convert the session in
24 bit/48 k Thanks |
number of ways to do this but here's what I think is one of the easiest / best ones : - Create new session at 48/24 clean hassle-less way to create separate folders where you keep things separated from each other. Chris __________________ |
So the files are not really losing quality when doing convertion, right ? Thanks for help and tips |

But worrying about nitpicking the nth degree of how this might sound is silly, use you ears - can you hear any difference? there are many things involved in recording and mixing that will make a huge amount more difference than a 44.1 vs 48 kHz sample rate. And also silly if the client/friend can't be bothered to record at 48kHz to start with. The benefit of up-converting before you start mixing (vs. up-converting when you bounce to disk) is that mix and plugin processing happens at this higher clock rate and should produce less artifacts. At least that is the idea. Darryl |
Thanks for the info, simple and clear now. |

I've made a track in pro tools, that i've put quite a bit of time into. I usually mix in 48Khz and dither down to 44.1Khz 16bit for CD but i setup the production session as 44.1 by accident. I would imagine it's possible to convert to 48khz , the session is purely midi combined with virtual instruments.

If your session is purely midi and VI's (no recorded audio), then you can simply create a new session at whatever sampling rate you desire and import session data from the previous session.
For what it's worth, I think the degradation from sample rate conversion does more harm that whatever benefit you would get out of recording at 48k.

You can go to File > Save Copy In
That function normally serves as a way to make a copy of the entire session in a different location, but you can also change the sample rate, bit depth, and other parameters.
Note: Converting from 44.1 to 48k won’t enhance the quality of any audio files already in the session. Unless you absolutely need the final mix to be at 48k, I’d recommend just staying at 44.1.

You can create a new empty session running at 48k, then import all the tracks from your lower rate session into it, and tick “convert sample rate”. Any audio in the session will be resampled.

Sure. Just convert your 44.1 files to 48k. They'll remain at the same standard as they were at 41.1 but you'll be able to dither your MIDI tracks down from 48 to 41 then.
