Help -Sample Rate - Files play slow and wrong ptich at their native setting
I have inherited a huge analog transfer project in which the tapes were transferred at another (analog/pro tools) studio. Although the files were requested and provided at 44.1, it is clear that an error occurred somewhere.
If I load the files in a 44.1 Logic session, they are clearly playing back slow tempo and incorrect pitch- ) about 8% on both. I checked the orginal files in the pro tools session - defintely 44.1 audio files.
My guess is the pro tools transfer session had the session bit depth set to 44.1 but the ext.clock or hardware still set to 48 somewhere in the chain. I have not been able to reach the engineer and this is a time sensitive project...
So... if I change Audio>Samle Rate> to 48k they seem to play back fine - at least from a pitch perspective - (even with my clock set to 44 or 48).
Since i have worked on pro tools for 10 years, -which does not allow your to change the song sample rate mid-stream - and I have never used this feature (the real-time sample rate convert) in Logic before, I have some questions
1. is it really ok to play back 44.1 files (the audio files themselves) at 48k (project/song sampling rate) without converting actually SRCing the audio in logic
2. Is there another solution I may be overlooking? Sample rate converting the audio files on import or with Factory has been suggested but that of course mantains the incorrect time and pitch of the original files. Thanks.
