Hi y'all.
Ok, I may just be confusing myself, so if this question is a bit dumb, feel free to slap me around (doing a long mix- 30 hours so far... well, that includes a lot of procrastination... whatever).

Anyway, I'm using SL2. I recorded a few tracks in 24/96 then FTPed them to my mix box (from Alesis HD24XR). The tracks work both in winamp and wavelab, so I know it's not an issue there.

I set the "project properties" to 24/96, and when I import the tracks, it doesn't ask to convert them. It recognises them as 24/96 tracks.

However, when I hit play, it plays them at half speed, as if it were reading them at 24/48 tracks.

Does SL2 not allow 96kHz tracks? or is there something that I'm missing?

Cheers
 
Ok. Sounds to me like you may have accidentally ticked the 'Do not show again' box on the Import options dialog, and thats why its not asking you.

If you go to File>Preferences>Editing>Audio', there is a dialog. There is a section called 'On Import Audio Files'. In the drop down box, make sure its set to 'Open Options Dialog'.

To convert the files you have already imported, select the relevant files, right click and go to 'Convert Files...'.

Hopefully this should solve your problem. If not then I'm completely wrong, and I have the wrong end of the stick and I apologise :D

Good luck :)

PS. Im using SX but it should be pretty much the same :)
 
Nah, that's not it, I still have the dialouge box coming up, but the "convert sample rate" is greyed-out, indicating that the wavs are of the right sample rate (if I set the sample rate to 48k, then the option is no longer greyed-out).
 
It's probably a limitation with your soundcard, not the software.
 
If im doing a 24/96 project and had a 16/44 sound and i didn't convert it always sounds faster ...and you said slower...is this the norm or what im experiencing the norm?

Just for conversation sake!
 
I got the solution. the exact same thing happened to me. The reason why cubase plays them at half-speed is because the sample rate between the software and hardware arent the same. for example, if u have a m-audio card, u can chose 96khz there as the sample rate. now, make sure u set the sample rate in cubase as 96khz too. when software recognizes the sample rate being different to the soundcard's, the half-speed thing occurs.
 
Nah, it's not the soundcard, it can do 96k.

I did manage to solve the problem... can't remember how now... that was, like, last week man...

If I remebmer I'll let y'all know
