Subject:Sample rate conversion on the fly?
Posted by: odaroloc

Hello,
I've looked into the FAQ, but it didn't answer my question.
Does SF4.5 resample on the fly.
i.e. I send it a 48k SPIDF signal and as I open a new file
for recording I specify the properties of the file to be
44k.

I'm assuming I can, but maybe I'm just not going about this
the right way.

If someone can ponit me in the right direction I'd
sincerely appreciate it.
I can't seem to find out anything about this in the help
file or the FAQ on the Sfoundry website.

Thanks a ton!

changing the properties of the sample rate does not actually, change
the sample rate. I don't believe it will do a sample rate conversion
in real time either as you record it. To actually change the sample
rate from 48k to
44.1k firsth record it in at 48k then goto the "Resample" menu item
and do it there. This works quite
well, better than any realtime sample rate conversion. I own a TC
Finalizer which has real time sample rate conversion, which I use for
mastering, If someone brings me a DAT tape which is at 48k, I always
keep it at 48k until I have it recorded into sound Forge and then I do
a "Resample" to 44.1Khz. It sounds much cleaner than the real time
processing....in fact you're actually better off loading it into sound
Forge in the Analog domain then going through a realtime sample rate
converter.
