samplerate problem
Reply with quote

Hi there!

If I export a song with samplerate 96KHz.
And then do some mastering in Adobe Audition.
And then I want to export it as mp3 the song ends up being twice as slow as the orignal because of the samplerate. Hope you understand my problem Razz

I tried a resample-app but it just messed it up in other ways..

The question is as follows: how can I resample the song without getting it messed up? Do I gain any quality by exporting as 96Khz or might I aswell do it in 44.1 from the start?

you will loose certain things with resampling, i don't know what did you mean by that the song got messed up but it shouldn't have been that bad so maybe something else is the problem Wink tho the mp3 encoding should have taken care of the 96->44.1Khz conversion in the first place - in theory.

as far as i know, mastering engineers tend to do things at the highest samplerate possible and switching to release resolution (44.1Khz, 16bit) only in the final master so it does makes sense doing your mastering at 96khz.

By messed up I meant the song playing at half speed and everything pitched down. Imagin playing a vinyl, but at half speed. That's what happened.

And I know that the mp3-encoding should've done the resampling but it didn't Razz Thought maybe I missed something.. hehe.

Ah well. I'll try again! Smile Thanks for answering

pitch down comes from the fact that it took the raw data and decided that it is in 44.1khz. 96kzh means that there were 96000 samplings done in a second, if it decides to take only 44100 samples to make a second then you`ll have that octave pitchdown (1 second`s data will be strechted into more than 2 seconds) Wink

but still, no idea, maybe try another mp3 encoder.

Yeah, I kinda figured that part out Wink But thanks anyway^^

I fixed it by first resampling the wav and THEN making the new wav an mp3. Still kinda weird that Audition could not handle it properly since it wasn't that cheap Razz
