  source tapes with audio in 32k and 48k

  Posted by Katemc on March 28, 2007 at 7:14 pm

  Hi everyone.
  I am assisting with a project that has some source tapes with 32k audio and some with 48k audio. I’ve heard that this will be sort of a nightmare to work with (clips with the 32K audio will have to be rendered every time they’re moved around in the sequence, right?). Luckily, it’s a relatively small number tapes with the 32K audio, 20 out of 80, and I’m thinking it would save time and inconvenience down the line if I were able to convert the audio to 48k somehow. How would you suggest that I do this? Digitizing them, converting the audio, and laying them off to tape again? Is there a better way?
  Thanks so much for your help!
  Kate

  Well, you COULD lay the tracks on the timeline, export them as AIFF, convert those exports to 48kHz with iTunes or Quicktime Pro, then import them back into FCP.

  I’m not sure what format you’re working with and what equipment is at your disposal but feeding from a deck with component and balanced audio out into a device like an AJA lo should do it on the fly.
