emergency! 44.1khz to 48khz

[reshp1]

Just to add, what probably happened is you had your hardware set to 48 and your software to 44.1. Now all your files are tagged as 44.1, but will only sound right if your hardware clock is 48. This would work fine on YOUR hardware if you duplicate the fuckup (set your clock to 48), but if you try to play somewhere else or in another program, it will sound low pitched because that program or hardware will see the 44.1 tag and adjust it's clock accordingly. Like I said, time compression is the best way I figured out how to restore the sound. You might lose a tinnsy bit of quality as program has to redo the math, but since you aren't trying to get it to hold the pitch it should be so minute it's inaudible.

I have never done a time strech before, does anyone knows if I can do it in sonar or with any of the waves plugins? (I am still not at the studio so I can't experiment right now... just trying to get the most info)

Thanks again very much everyone for your help, and very impressive math skills you have reshp1

It seems like your making this WAY harder than it has to be...........

 

[mshilarious]

So you need to shift up 1.467 semitones

Yes that's correct. Ignore my math earlier.

BTW a cent is 1/100 of a semitone, so if your pitch shift is denoted in cents, you would shift 1 semitone and 47 cents.

Hahaha, not really. The tricky part was that each semitone is 2^(1/12) times higher frequency than the one below it. I had to google that part.
I'm not familiar with Sonar, but I would think it's an offline tool, not a realtime plugin. Hope it works out.

STOP!!!!!! YOU SOUND LIKE YOU ARE MAKING IT WORSE!
If you are in a 44.1 session and the files are 48k(and sound flat) import them into a 48K session and do not convert
If they are in a 48K session and still sound flat, import them to a 44.1 session and convert them to 44.1K. Now import them into a 48K session and do not convert them
Pitch shifting is not required, if you didn't convert them 7 times already, sample rate conversion isn't required.

The problem is the file is tagged as a 44.1 kHz file, but was recorded to a 48k reference clock. I'm not sure if you have the option of importing a file tagged as a 44.1k into a 48k session without converting or the program automatically compensating for the pitch and speed.

It should........did you ask in the sonar forum???

Try downloading Goldwave, open the file, and use the Resample function.

I believe long ago that I fixed some files that were messed up like that.

I knew that part, but botched the math anyway

 

[tenkas]

I did the resample without converting in sonic foundry and it worked perfectly, in cubase also. Again, thanks to everyone.

Hey Tenkas,
Just a odd question/thought.

You posted a problem about your spdif not working on your presonis?
I was just thinking you may have a bum Firepod...... Its odd for hardware to do that.

Just a thought.

[tenkas]

well the spdif problem is a completely different problem from the clock problem. I suppose it is POSSIBLE that I accidently changed the settings when I was fiddling around with the spdif problem in the panel.

I believe the spdif problem is related to software problems (drivers) since I did not changed anything in the unit physicaly since it was working perfectly.

 

[blazingstrings]

Cool,
I was just curious as that my friend bought a Firepod and it was shot right out of the box..... Thought maybe it was a simular problem.

Later

I have also figured out the problem with the spdif, just go download the drivers again, the link was a bad link for a while, and they updated the link to a new file ( I suppose ) which is suppose to lead it to work (according to a forumite in here...)

I am going to try fixing everything tonight.

 

[IronFlippy]

Would it be a problem to re-record it, rather than spend days trying to fix it?

 

[tenkas]

Well converting the files takes about 15 minutes, while installing a drum set, installing gobos, installing microphones on the drums, installing the amps, installing the singer in the booth, setting everything and recording takes about 8 hours.

I prefer just to convert...
