When ever I paste 44 hz audio into a new window I get a message that says 'The sound sample rate is lower then the destination sample rate.'
It just started doing this. Is there a default setting setting or something that will make this message go away so it'll always be at 44 even when i cut or paste?

I would guess you've set your default new file parameters to 48KHz. When you paste into a file it will always be resampled to the file's sample rate. Create a new file and choose 44,100 for the sample rate and that will become the default again.

Actually, Sound Forge does not resample on pastes, the pasted samples just assume the destination sample rate. So 44.1 kHz data pasted into a 48 kHz file will play faster/higher (hence the warning beforehand).

There are a handful of reasons this behavior was chosen, but most are no longer relevant. Auto-resampling to the destination sample rate is probably the desired result in most cases. I'll add as a feature request.

Thanks. I just fixed the problem by clicking on 'new' from the file drop down menu. Before, I was clicking the "new" ICON and not getting the sampling rate window to make the change.
