Help please - 48K

guy1 · 7th March 2007, 04:32 PM

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I've accidentally recorded some rhythm tracks at 48k into my Mackie HDR24/96 due to the setting on my O2R96 being at 48k not 44.1K as intended. It was only on playback with the desk set to 44.1 that I realised it was all a semitone flat. I need to master to CD and maintain a digital path to the CDR. How can I convert to 44.1 in order to master to CD without it being a semitone flat? I've been told I can do this by sending via SPDIF into Cubase, converting it there and sending it back to the desk an through to the CDR. However, won't this still mean it a semitone flat?

Help! Please!

I guess just record to cubase at 48k. Use your best SRC to change the tracks to 44.1. Sync back and record to the mackie, and you should be done. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

what are you using to master on?

it'd be easy to do with computer software. Or a more difficult root could be external ad/da converters.

one way i can think of right now...isn't the best but may be possible on your own without the above.

Save the file onto another DAW in a new project at 48k. Then play it back on that DAW while recording it's analog output at 44.1k

With software it's much easier...just change the sample rate of the file to 48, then dither it down to 44.1
