Hi all.
I was so excited to learn of the upgraded converters in the latest iteration of Garage Band that I decided to use it to set my guitarist up for recording all his tracks.
Too bad I didn't do my homework; the top quality setting in GB is 24-bit 44.1kHz, and the rest of my project is being recorded at 24-bit 48kHz in Pro Tools.
Now, when I dragged the higher-rate project files into the GB projects GB converted them flawlessly.
What I need to know is, how do I get them to go the other way? I need to convert from 44.1 to 48kHz. Some posts online suggest this might actually make it sound a tad better; I'll settle for not sounding any worse!
I don't want to use something like Audacity in case the quality of the conversion is questionable.....
Does anyone out there have any experience up-sampling or using GB files in Pro Tools sessions? There are a million programs out there that manipulate audio files, but for all I know Quicktime or iTunes can do it.......hoping someone knows something I don't!
Thanks.
Okay, may have partially answered my own question.....
Quicktime Pro does indeed allow for saving a 44.1 file in 48kHz, and there is a slight increase in file size, indicating something is going on...no strange artifacts or differences in tempo or pitch......
However, the original question still stands.
Is there a way to just drag the files into Pro Tools and have the conversion happen the way it did in GB? I can't test the theory, the Pro Tools rig is in another state, I use GB and Logic exclusively.
Nice to know I can do it in QT, even if it will be a total pain to have to convert that many tracks. Why didn't Apple just go all the way with those converters?!
