Resampling question
Hello,
I am working with Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1 along with Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.
More samples 'sounds' (no pun intended) like it would better, but I've read that there can be distortion going from 44.1 to 48 or 96. Here's what I'm doing:
I have music from iTUNES at 256bps/44.1khz. Standard .m4a (to which i DO have rights to use.. so no copyright issues here) files from the iTUNES Store.
I'm converting them with Soundtrack Pro to .aiffs to be edited/used in my FCP 7 workflow (music to go along with family vacation video). The sequence I'm using in FCP is Apple Pro Res 422 with audio at 48.1, 16-bit grouped..the default profile for woking with ProRes of this quality.
When I import my songs (.aiffs) to FCP, naturally, I have to render the audio, because at 44.1khz, the settings don't match my sequence. So, I'm thinking of using SoundtrackPro to RESAMPLE to 48khz.
Is this a recommended workflow.. what do you folks recommend?
Respectfully yours,
Bob
